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 IOMMU fix from Joerg Roedel:
"Another fix, this time in common IOMMU sysfs code.
In the conversion from the old iommu sysfs-code to the
iommu_device_register interface, I missed to update the release path
for the struct device associated with an IOMMU. It freed the 'struct
device', which was a pointer before, but is now embedded in another
struct.
Freeing from the middle of allocated memory had all kinds of nasty
side effects when an IOMMU was unplugged. Unfortunatly nobody
unplugged and IOMMU until now, so this was not discovered earlier. The
fix is to make the 'struct device' a pointer again"

Pull char/misc fix from Greg KH:
"Here is a single misc driver fix for 4.13-rc7. It resolves a reported
problem in the Android binder driver due to previous patches in
4.13-rc.
It's been in linux-next with no reported issues"
* tag 'char-misc-4.13-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc:
ANDROID: binder: fix proc->tsk check.
The struct iommu_device has a 'struct device' embedded into
it, not as a pointer, but the whole struct. In the
conversion of the iommu drivers to use struct iommu_device
it was forgotten that the relase function for that struct
device simply calls kfree() on the pointer.
This frees memory that was never allocated and causes memory
corruption.
To fix this issue, use a pointer to struct device instead of
embedding the whole struct. This needs some updates in the
iommu sysfs code as well as the Intel VT-d and AMD IOMMU
driver.

Commit c54451a "iommu/arm-smmu: Fix the error path in arm_smmu_add_device"
removed fwspec assignment in legacy_binding path as redundant which is
wrong. It needs to be updated after fwspec initialisation in
arm_smmu_register_legacy_master() as it is dereferenced later. Without
this there is a NULL-pointer dereference panic during boot on some hosts.

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.13 cycle.
Given the late stage of this series, some more involved fixes have been
held back for the upcoming merge window.
The hid-sensor issue has been causing problems for a long time so it
is great to have that one finally fixed! No more bug reports for the
userspace guys (well about that anyway).
* documentation
- some warning fixes due to missing colons in kernel-doc.
* adis16480
- fix accel scale factor.
* bmp280
- properly initialize the device for humidity readings - without this
the humidity readings may be skipped and a magic value of 0x8000 returned.
* hid-sensor-strigger
- fix a race with user space when powering up the sensor.
* ina291
- Avoid an underflow for the sleeping time as a result of supporting the
fastest rates.
* st-magnetometer
- Fix the status register address for hte LSM303AGR,
- Remove the ihl property for LSM303AGR as the sensor doesn't support
active low for the dataready line.
* stm32-adc
- Fix use of a common clock rate.
* stm32-timer
- fix the quadrature mode get routine to account for the magic 0 value.
set on boot.
- fix the return value of write_raw,
- fix the get/set down count direction as the enum value was not being
converted to the relevant bit field,
- add an enable attribute to actually turn it on when in encoder mode,
- missing mask when reading the trigger mode.
The register_syscore_ops() function takes a mutex and might
sleep. In the IOMMU initialization code it is invoked during
irq-remapping setup already, where irqs are disabled.
This causes a schedule-while-atomic bug:

The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the
page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry
set.
That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been
skipped.
That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must*
take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also
pending.
So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for
them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for. Even
if that might then delay the killing of the process.
This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure
that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other
areas).
Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried
to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread
was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other
thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated. So any
other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.

After the link tests, there is a race on one side of the test for
the link coming up. It's possible, in some cases, for the test script
to write to the 'peer_trans' files before the link has come up.
To fix this, we simply use the link event file to ensure both sides
see the link as up before continuning.
