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.

Few dts fixes for regressions for various SoCs and
devices for touchscreen wake, dra7 USB quirk, pinmux
for beaglebone mmc, and emac clock.
Also included is a change for ti-sysc to use kcalloc
that Kees wanted to get into v4.18 as that's the last
one he wanted to fix for improved defense against
allocation overflows.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- Prevent an out-of-bounds access in mtrr_write()
- Break a circular dependency in the new hyperv IPI acceleration code
- Address the build breakage related to inline functions by enforcing
gnu_inline and explicitly bringing native_save_fl() out of line,
which also adds a set of _ARM_ARG macros which provide 32/64bit
safety.
- Initialize the shadow CR4 per cpu variable before using it.

x86/mtrr: Don't copy out-of-bounds data in mtrr_write
x86/hyper-v: Fix the circular dependency in IPI enlightenment
x86/paravirt: Make native_save_fl() extern inline
x86/asm: Add _ASM_ARG* constants for argument registers to <asm/asm.h>
compiler-gcc.h: Add __attribute__((gnu_inline)) to all inline declarations
x86/mm/32: Initialize the CR4 shadow before __flush_tlb_all()
On AMD, the presence of the MSR_SPEC_CTRL feature does not imply that the
SSBD mitigation support should use the SPEC_CTRL MSR. Other features could
have caused the MSR_SPEC_CTRL feature to be set, while a different SSBD
mitigation option is in place.
Update the SSBD support to check for the actual SSBD features that will
use the SPEC_CTRL MSR.

i.MX fixes for 4.18, round 2:
- A couple of imx defconfig updates selecting USB ULPI support to fix
a regression seen with USB driver, which is caused by commit
03e6275ae381 ("usb: chipidea: Fix ULPI on imx51").
- A fix on imx51-zii-rdu1 board touchscreen pinctrl setting, which
causes an interrupt storm.

A previous patch removed OMAP clock aliases that were perceived
to be unnecessary. Unfortunately, it broke the ethernet on the
am3517-evm. This patch enables the MDIO clock and EMAC clock.

Pull scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
- The hopefully final fix for the reported race problems in
kthread_parkme(). The previous attempt still left a hole and was
partially wrong.
- Plug a race in the remote tick mechanism which triggers a warning
about updates not being done correctly. That's a false positive if
the race condition is hit as the remote CPU is idle. Plug it by
checking the condition again when holding run queue lock.
- Fix a bug in the utilization estimation of a run queue which causes
the estimation to be 0 when a run queue is throttled.
- Advance the global expiration of the period timer when the timer is
restarted after a idle period. Otherwise the expiry time is stale and
the timer fires prematurely.
- Cure the drift between the bandwidth timer and the runqueue
accounting, which leads to bogus throttling of runqueues
- Place the call to cpufreq_update_util() correctly so the function
will observe the correct number of running RT tasks and not a stale
one.
* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:

Don't access the provided buffer out of bounds - this can cause a kernel
out-of-bounds read when invoked through sys_splice() or other things that
use kernel_write()/__kernel_write().

Mainline Commit b74c2b21e1551018af53ee6c1efc051dfce2d788 added the pinmux
settings for mmc1, however this pin (0x9a0) is routed to P9_42 on the cape
header. Thus any BeagleBone cape that utilizes P9_42 triggers mmc0's Write
Protect.
