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:
"A set of small fixes:
- make KGDB work again which got broken by the conversion of WARN()
to #UD. The WARN fixup needs to run before the notifier callchain,
otherwise KGDB tries to handle it and crashes.
- disable KASAN in the ORC unwinder to prevent false positive KASAN
warnings
- prevent default mapping above 47bit when 5 level page tables are
enabled
- make the delay calibration optimization work correctly, which had
the conditionals the wrong way around and was operating on data
which was not yet updated.
- remove the bogus X86_TRAP_BP trap init from the default IDT init
table, which broke 32bit int3 handling by overwriting the correct
int3 setup.
- replace this_cpu* with boot_cpu_data access in the preemptible
oprofile init code"

Commit:
9a93848fe787 ("x86/debug: Implement __WARN() using UD0")
turned warnings into UD0, but the fixup code only runs after the
notify_die() chain. This is a problem, in particular, with kgdb,
which kicks in as if it was a BUG().
Fix this by running the fixup code before the notifier chain in
the invalid op handler path.

On machines with 5-level paging we don't want to allocate mapping above
47-bit unless user explicitly asked for it. See b569bab78d8d ("x86/mm:
Prepare to expose larger address space to userspace") for details.
c715b72c1ba4 ("mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base
changes") broke the behaviour. After the commit elf binary and heap got
mapped above 47-bits.
Use DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW instead of TASK_SIZE to determine ELF_ET_DYN_BASE so
it's forced to be below 47-bits unconditionally.

====================
pull-request: can 2017-11-10
this is a pull request for net/master.
The first patch by Richard Schütz for the c_can driver removes the false
indication to support triple sampling for d_can. Gerhard Bertelsmann's
patch for the sun4i driver improves the RX overrun handling. The patch
by Stephane Grosjean for the peak_canfd driver adds the PCI ids for
various new PCIe/M2 interfaces. Marek Vasut's patch for the ifi driver
fix transmitter delay calculation.

Commit b70543a0b2b6("x86/idt: Move regular trap init to tables") moves
regular trap init for each trap vector into a table based
initialization. It introduced the initialization for vector X86_TRAP_BP
which was not in the code which it replaced. This breaks uprobe
functionality for x86_32; the probed program segfaults instead of handling
the probe proper.
The reason for this is that TRAP_BP is set up as system interrupt gate
(DPL3) in the early IDT and then replaced by a regular interrupt gate
(DPL0) in idt_setup_traps(). The DPL0 restriction causes the int3 trap
to fail with a #GP resulting in a SIGSEGV of the probed program.
On 64bit this does not cause a problem because the IDT entry is replaced
with a system interrupt gate (DPL3) with interrupt stack afterwards.
Remove X86_TRAP_BP from the def_idts table which is used in
idt_setup_traps(). Remove a redundant entry for X86_TRAP_NMI in def_idts
while at it. Tested on both x86_64 and x86_32.
[ tglx: Amended changelog with a description of the root cause ]

Pull input layer updates from Dmitry Torokhov:
- a new ACPI ID for Elan touchpad found in yet another Ideapad model
- Synaptics RMI4 will allow binding to controllers reporting SMB
version 3 (note that we are not adding any new ACPI IDs to the
Synaptics PS/2 drover so unless user explicitly enables intertouch
support there is no user-visible change)
- a fixup to TSC 2004/5 touchscreen driver to mark input devices as
"direct" to help userspace identify the type of device they are
dealing with
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input:
Input: synaptics-rmi4 - RMI4 can also use SMBUS version 3
Input: tsc200x-core - set INPUT_PROP_DIRECT
Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN060C to the ACPI table
rbd_img_obj_exists_submit() and rbd_img_obj_parent_read_full() are on
the writeback path for cloned images -- we attempt a stat on the parent
object to see if it exists and potentially read it in to call copyup.
GFP_NOIO should be used instead of GFP_KERNEL here.

Mellanox, mlx5 fixes 2017-11-08
The following series includes some fixes for mlx5 core and etherent
driver.
Sorry for the late submission but as you can see i have some very
critical fixes below that i would like them merged into this RC.
Please pull and let me know if there is any problem.
For -stable:
('net/mlx5e: Set page to null in case dma mapping fails') kernels >= 4.13
('net/mlx5: FPGA, return -EINVAL if size is zero') kernels >= 4.13
('net/mlx5: Cancel health poll before sending panic teardown command') kernels >= 4.13
V1->V2:
- Fix Reviewed-by tag of the 2nd patch.
- Drop the FPGA 0 size fix, it needs some more change log info.
