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 scheduler fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of scheduler fixes:
- Make the conditional update of the overutilized state work
correctly by caching the relevant flags state before overwriting
them and checking them afterwards.
- Fix a data race in the wakeup path which caused loadavg on ARM64
platforms to become a random number generator.
- Fix the ordering of the iowaiter accounting operations so it can't
be decremented before it is incremented.
- Fix a bug in the deadline scheduler vs. priority inheritance when a
non-deadline task A has inherited the parameters of a deadline task
B and then blocks on a non-deadline task C.
The second inheritance step used the static deadline parameters of
task A, which are usually 0, instead of further propagating task
B's parameters. The zero initialized parameters trigger a bug in
the deadline scheduler"

sched/deadline: Fix priority inheritance with multiple scheduling classes

sched/fair: Fix overutilized update in enqueue_task_fair()
Some users are pairing the Dinovo keyboards with the MX5000 or MX5500
receivers, instead of with the Dinovo receivers. The receivers are
mostly the same (and the air protocol obviously is compatible) but
currently the Dinovo receivers are handled by hid-lg.c while the
MX5x00 receivers are handled by logitech-dj.c.
When using a Dinovo keyboard, with its builtin touchpad, through
logitech-dj.c then the touchpad stops working because when asking the
receiver for paired devices, we get only 1 paired device with
a device_type of REPORT_TYPE_KEYBOARD. And since we don't see a paired
mouse, we have nowhere to send mouse-events to, so we drop them.
Extend the existing fix for the Dinovo Edge for this to also cover the
Dinovo Mini keyboard and also add a mapping to logitech-hidpp for the
Media key on the Dinovo Mini, so that that keeps working too.

perf/x86: fix sysfs type mismatches
Glenn reported that "an application [he developed produces] a BUG in
deadline.c when a SCHED_DEADLINE task contends with CFS tasks on nested
PTHREAD_PRIO_INHERIT mutexes. I believe the bug is triggered when a CFS
task that was boosted by a SCHED_DEADLINE task boosts another CFS task
(nested priority inheritance).

He also provided a simple reproducer creating the situation below:
So the execution order of locking steps are the following
(N1 and N2 are non-deadline tasks. D1 is a deadline task. M1 and M2
are mutexes that are enabled * with priority inheritance.)
Time moves forward as this timeline goes down:
N1 N2 D1
| | |
| | |
Lock(M1) | |
| | |
| Lock(M2) |
| | |
| | Lock(M2)
| | |
| Lock(M1) |
| (!!bug triggered!) |
Daniel reported a similar situation as well, by just letting ksoftirqd
run with DEADLINE (and eventually block on a mutex).
Problem is that boosted entities (Priority Inheritance) use static
DEADLINE parameters of the top priority waiter. However, there might be
cases where top waiter could be a non-DEADLINE entity that is currently
boosted by a DEADLINE entity from a different lock chain (i.e., nested
priority chains involving entities of non-DEADLINE classes). In this
case, top waiter static DEADLINE parameters could be null (initialized
to 0 at fork()) and replenish_dl_entity() would hit a BUG().
Fix this by keeping track of the original donor and using its parameters
when a task is boosted.

Fix an error in the mouse / INPUT(2) descriptor used for quad/bt2.0 combo
receivers. Replace INPUT with INPUT (Data,Var,Abs) for the field for the
4 extra buttons which share their report-byte with the low-res hwheel.
This is likely a copy and paste error. I've verified that the new
0x81, 0x02 value matches both the mouse descriptor for the currently
supported MX5000 / MX5500 receivers, as well as the INPUT(2) mouse
descriptors for the Dinovo receivers for which support is being
worked on.

callback type mismatches that trip indirect call checking with Clang's
Control-Flow Integrity (CFI).

schedule() ttwu()
deactivate_task(); if (p->on_rq && ...) // false
atomic_dec(&task_rq(p)->nr_iowait);
if (prev->in_iowait)
atomic_inc(&rq->nr_iowait);
Allows nr_iowait to be decremented before it gets incremented,
resulting in more dodgy IO-wait numbers than usual.
Note that because we can now do ttwu_queue_wakelist() before
p->on_cpu==0, we lose the natural ordering and have to further delay
the decrement.

The battery status is also being reported by the logitech-hidpp driver,
so ignore the standard HID battery status to avoid reporting the same
info twice.
Note the logitech-hidpp battery driver provides more info, such as properly
differentiating between charging and discharging. Also the standard HID
battery info seems to be wrong, reporting a capacity of just 26% after
fully charging the device.

The cause of the problem is we have call chain lockdep_unregister_key()

arch_spin_unlock() -> __pv_queued_spin_unlock_slowpath() -> pv_kick() ->
__send_ipi_one() -> trace_hyperv_send_ipi_one().
Although this particular warning is triggered because Hyper-V has a
trace point in ipi sending, but in general arch_spin_unlock() may call
another function having a trace point in it, so put the arch_spin_lock()
and arch_spin_unlock() after lock_recursion protection to fix this
problem and avoid similiar problems.
