Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.

Since commit e501ce957a78 ("x86: Force asm-goto"), aarch64 build on
distributions which enable PIE by default (e.g. openSUSE Tumbleweed) does
not detect support for asm goto correctly. The problem is that ARM specific
part of scripts/gcc-goto.sh fails with PIE even with recent gcc versions.
Moving the asm goto detection up in Makefile put it before the place where
we disable PIE. As a result, kernel is built without jump label support.
Move the lines disabling PIE before the asm goto test to make it work.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

Only CPUs which speculate can speculate. Therefore, it seems prudent
to test for cpu_no_speculation first and only then determine whether
a specific speculating CPU is susceptible to store bypass speculation.
This is underlined by all CPUs currently listed in cpu_no_speculation
were present in cpu_no_spec_store_bypass as well.

I used bad names in my clumsiness when rewriting many board
files to use GPIO descriptors instead of platform data. A few
had the platform_device ID set to -1 which would indeed give
the device name "i2c-gpio".
But several had it set to >=0 which gives the names
"i2c-gpio.0", "i2c-gpio.1" ...
Fix the offending instances in the ARM tree. Sorry for the
mess.

This patch is a partial revert of
commit abd7d0972a19 ("arm64: dts: hikey: Enable HS200 mode on eMMC")
which has been causing eMMC corruption on my HiKey board.

And quite often this would result in a disk that wouldn't properly
boot even with older kernels.
It seems the max-frequency property added by the above patch is
causing the problem, so remove it.

Pull KVM fixes from Radim Krčmář:
"PPC:
- Close a hole which could possibly lead to the host timebase getting
out of sync.
- Three fixes relating to PTEs and TLB entries for radix guests.
- Fix a bug which could lead to an interrupt never getting delivered
to the guest, if it is pending for a guest vCPU when the vCPU gets
offlined.
s390:
- Fix false negatives in VSIE validity check (Cc stable)
x86:
- Fix time drift of VMX preemption timer when a guest uses LAPIC
timer in periodic mode (Cc stable)
- Unconditionally expose CPUID.IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES to allow
migration from hosts that don't need retpoline mitigation (Cc
stable)
- Fix guest crashes on reboot by properly coupling CR4.OSXSAVE and
CPUID.OSXSAVE (Cc stable)
- Report correct RIP after Hyper-V hypercall #UD (introduced in
-rc6)"

Since the following commit:
b91473ff6e97 ("sched,tracing: Update trace_sched_pi_setprio()")
the sched_pi_setprio trace point shows the "newprio" during a deboost:
|futex sched_pi_setprio: comm=futex_requeue_p pid"34 oldprio newprio=3D98
|futex sched_switch: prev_comm=futex_requeue_p prev_pid"34 prev_prio=120
This patch open codes __rt_effective_prio() in the tracepoint as the
'newprio' to get the old behaviour back / the correct priority:
|futex sched_pi_setprio: comm=futex_requeue_p pid"20 oldprio newprio=3D120
|futex sched_switch: prev_comm=futex_requeue_p prev_pid"20 prev_prio=120
Peter suggested to open code the new priority so people using tracehook
could get the deadline data out.
