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.
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:
"Volume is a little higher than usual due to a set of gpio fixes for
Davinci platforms that's been around a while, still seemed appropriate
to not hold off until next merge window.
Besides that it's the usual mix of minor fixes, mostly corrections of
small stuff in device trees.
Major stability-related one is the removal of a regulator from DT on
Rock960, since DVFS caused undervoltage. I expect it'll be restored
once they figure out the underlying issue"

Pull STIBP fallout fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"The performance destruction department finally got it's act together
and came up with a cure for the STIPB regression:
- Provide a command line option to control the spectre v2 user space
mitigations. Default is either seccomp or prctl (if seccomp is
disabled in Kconfig). prctl allows mitigation opt-in, seccomp
enables the migitation for sandboxed processes.
- Rework the code to handle the conditional STIBP/IBPB control and
remove the now unused ptrace_may_access_sched() optimization
attempt
- Disable STIBP automatically when SMT is disabled
- Optimize the switch_to() logic to avoid MSR writes and invocations
of __switch_to_xtra().
- Make the asynchronous speculation TIF updates synchronous to
prevent stale mitigation state.
As a general cleanup this also makes retpoline directly depend on
compiler support and removes the 'minimal retpoline' option which just
pretended to provide some form of security while providing none"

This reverts commit b3cf8528bb21febb650a7ecbf080d0647be40b9f.
That commit unintentionally broke Xen balloon memory hotplug with
"hotplug_unpopulated" set to 1. As long as "System RAM" resource
got assigned under a new "Unusable memory" resource in IO/Mem tree
any attempt to online this memory would fail due to general kernel
restrictions on having "System RAM" resources as 1st level only.
The original issue that commit has tried to workaround fa564ad96366
("x86/PCI: Enable a 64bit BAR on AMD Family 15h (Models 00-1f, 30-3f,
60-7f)") also got amended by the following 03a551734 ("x86/PCI: Move
and shrink AMD 64-bit window to avoid conflict") which made the
original fix to Xen ballooning unnecessary.

Bindings for "fixed-regulator" only explicitly support "gpio" property,
not "gpios". Fix by correcting the property name.
The enet PHYs on imx6sx-sdb needs to be explicitly reset after a power
cycle, this can be handled by the phy-reset-gpios property. Sadly this
is not handled on suspend: the fec driver turns phy-supply off but
doesn't assert phy-reset-gpios again on resume.
Since additional phy-level work is required to support powering off the
phy in suspend fix the problem by just marking the regulator as
"boot-on" "always-on" so that it's never turned off. This behavior is
equivalent to older releases.
Keep the phy-reset-gpios property on fec anyway because it is a correct
description of board design.
This issue was exposed by commit efdfeb079cc3 ("regulator: fixed:
Convert to use GPIO descriptor only") which causes the "gpios" property
to also be parsed. Before that commit the "gpios" property had no
effect, PHY reset was only handled in the the bootloader.
This fixes linux-next boot failures previously reported here:
