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 LED fix from Pavel Machek:

leds: rt8515: add V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS dependency
Pull Kbuild fixes from Masahiro Yamada:
- Fix CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS build for ppc64
- Use pkg-config for scripts/sign-file.c CFLAGS
* tag 'kbuild-fixes-v5.11-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux-kbuild:
scripts: set proper OpenSSL include dir also for sign-file
sparc: remove wrong comment from arch/sparc/include/asm/Kbuild
kbuild: fix CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS build for ppc64
The leds-rt8515 driver can optionall use the v4l2 flash led class,
but it causes a link error when that class is in a loadable module
and the rt8515 driver itself is built-in:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: v4l2_flash_init
>>> referenced by leds-rt8515.c
>>> leds/flash/leds-rt8515.o:(rt8515_probe) in archive
drivers/built-in.a
Adding 'depends on V4L2_FLASH_LED_CLASS' in Kconfig would avoid that,
but it would make it impossible to use the driver without the
v4l2 support.
Add the same dependency that the other users of this class have
instead, which just prevents the broken configuration.

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"I kinda knew while typing 'I hope this is the last batch of x86/urgent
updates' last week, Murphy was reading too and uttered 'Hold my
beer!'.
So here's more fixes... Thanks Murphy.
Anyway, three more x86/urgent fixes for 5.11 final. We should be
finally ready (famous last words). :-)
- An SGX use after free fix
- A fix for the fix to disable CET instrumentation generation for
kernel code. We forgot 32-bit, which we seem to do very often
nowadays
- A Xen PV fix to irqdomain init ordering"

Pull clk fix from Stephen Boyd:
"One small fix for the Allwinner clk driver so that display clks figure
out the correct rate to use.
This fixes displays running 4k@60Hz and some other resolutions that
haven't been exercised and fully understood until now"

clk: sunxi-ng: mp: fix parent rate change flag check
Invoking x86_init.irqs.create_pci_msi_domain() before
x86_init.pci.arch_init() breaks XEN PV.
The XEN_PV specific pci.arch_init() function overrides the default
create_pci_msi_domain() which is obviously too late.
As a consequence the XEN PV PCI/MSI allocation goes through the native
path which runs out of vectors and causes malfunction.
Invoke it after x86_init.pci.arch_init().

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"A fix for a crash scenario that has been present since the initial
merge, a minor regression in sysfs attribute visibility, and a fix for
some flexible array warnings.
The bulk of this pull is an update to the libnvdimm unit test
infrastructure to test non-ACPI platforms. Given there is zero
regression risk for test updates, and the tests enable validation of
bits headed towards the next merge window, I saw no reason to hold the
new tests back. Santosh originally submitted this before the v5.11
window opened.
Summary:
- Fix a crash when sysfs accesses race 'dimm' driver probe/remove.
- Fix a regression in 'resource' attribute visibility necessary for
mapping badblocks and other physical address interrogations.
- Fix some flexible array warnings
- Expand the unit test infrastructure for non-ACPI platforms"

Commit
20bf2b378729 ("x86/build: Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel")
disabled CET instrumentation which gets added by default by the Ubuntu
gcc9 and 10 by default, but did that only for 64-bit builds. It would
still fail when building a 32-bit target. So disable CET for all x86
builds.
