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.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
- A fix for OMAP5 and DRA7 to make the branch predictor hardening
settings take proper effect on secondary cores
- Disable USB OTG on am3517 since current driver isn't working
- Fix thermal sensor register settings on Armada 38x
- Fix suspend/resume IRQs on pxa3xx

Two omap fixes for v4.18-rc cycle
Turns out the recent patches for ARM branch predictor hardening are
not working on omap5 and dra7 as planned because the secondary CPU
is parked to the bootrom code. We can't configure it in the bootloader.
So we must enable invalidates of BTB for omap5 and dra7 secondary
core in the kernel.
And there's a fix for reserved register access for am3517. The
usb otg module on am3517 is not the same as for other omap3.

Pull xen fixes from Juergen Gross:
"Two related fixes for a boot failure of Xen PV guests"

xen: setup pv irq ops vector earlier
xen: remove global bit from __default_kernel_pte_mask for pv guests
The offset needs to be added after reading the alarm value.
It also needs to be subtracted after the now < alarm test.

The AM3517 has a different OTG controller location than the OMAP3,
which is included from omap3.dtsi. This results in a hwmod error.
Since the AM3517 has a different OTG controller address, this patch
disabes one that is isn't available.

Pull block fix from Jens Axboe:

return on non-data commands"
* tag 'for-linus-20180713' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
bsg: fix bogus EINVAL on non-data commands
Setting pv_irq_ops for Xen PV domains should be done as early as
possible in order to support e.g. very early printk() usage.
The same applies to xen_vcpu_info_reset(0), as it is needed for the
pv irq ops.
Move the call of xen_setup_machphys_mapping() after initializing the
pv functions as it contains a WARN_ON(), too.
Remove the no longer necessary conditional in xen_init_irq_ops()
from PVH V1 times to make clear this is a PV only function.

Commit 2f28e4c24b10e (thermal: armada: Clarify control registers
accesses) introduced the new thermal binding. The new binding extends
the second registers field size to 8. Switch to the new binding to fix
thermal reading values. Without this change the fix for errata #132698
introduced in commit 8c0b888f661 (thermal: armada: Change sensors trim
default value) has no effect.

Call secure services to enable ACTLR[0] (Enable invalidates of BTB with
ICIALLU) when branch hardening is enabled for kernel.
On GP devices OMAP5/DRA7, there is no possibility to update secure
side since "secure world" is ROM and there are no override mechanisms
possible. On HS devices, appropriate PPA should do the workarounds as
well.
However, the configuration is only done for secondary core, since it is
expected that firmware/bootloader will have enabled the required
configuration for the primary boot core (note: bootloaders typically
will NOT enable secondary processors, since it has no need to do so).
