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 power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These fix a crash in intel_pstate during resume from suspend-to-RAM
that may occur after recent changes and two resource leaks in error
paths in the operating performance points (OPP) framework, add a new
C-states table to intel_idle and update the cpuidle MAINTAINERS entry
to cover the governors too.
Specifics:
- Fix recently introduced crash in the intel_pstate driver that
occurs if scale-invariance is disabled during resume from
suspend-to-RAM due to inconsistent changes of APERF or MPERF MSR
values made by the platform firmware (Rafael Wysocki).
- Fix a memory leak and add a missing clk_put() in error paths in the
OPP framework (Quanyang Wang, Viresh Kumar).
- Add new C-states table for SnowRidge processors to the intel_idle
driver (Artem Bityutskiy).
- Update the MAINTAINERS entry for cpuidle to make it clear that the
governors are covered by it too (Lukas Bulwahn)"

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"This is a load of driver fixes (12 ufs, 1 mpt3sas, 1 cxgbi).
The big core two fixes are for power management ("block: Do not accept
any requests while suspended" and "block: Fix a race in the runtime
power management code") which finally sorts out the resume problems
we've occasionally been having.
To make the resume fix, there are seven necessary precursors which
effectively renames REQ_PREEMPT to REQ_PM, so every "special" request
in block is automatically a power management exempt one.
All of the non-PM preempt cases are removed except for the one in the
SCSI Parallel Interface (spi) domain validation which is a genuine
case where we have to run requests at high priority to validate the
bus so this becomes an autopm get/put protected request"

SCSI_CXGB4_ISCSI selects CHELSIO_T4. The latter depends on TLS || TLS=n, so
since 'select' does not check dependencies of the selected symbol,
SCSI_CXGB4_ISCSI should also depend on TLS || TLS=n.
This prevents the following kconfig warning and restricts SCSI_CXGB4_ISCSI
to 'm' whenever TLS=m.

Pull operating performance points (OPP) framework fixes for 5.11-rc2
from Viresh Kumar:
"This contains two patches to fix freeing of resources in error paths."

When sugov_update_single_perf() falls back to the "frequency"
path due to the missing scale-invariance, it will call
cpufreq_driver_fast_switch() via sugov_fast_switch()
and the driver's ->fast_switch() callback will be invoked,
so it must not be NULL.
However, after commit a365ab6b9dfb ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement
the ->adjust_perf() callback") intel_pstate sets ->fast_switch() to
NULL when it is going to use intel_cpufreq_adjust_perf(), which is a
mistake, because on x86 the scale-invariance may be turned off
dynamically, so modify it to retain the original ->adjust_perf()
callback pointer.
Fixes: a365ab6b9dfb ("cpufreq: intel_pstate: Implement the ->adjust_perf() callback")

Add C-state table for the SnowRidge SoC which is found on Intel Jacobsville
platforms.
The following has been changed.
1. C1E latency changed from 10us to 15us. It was measured using the
open source "wult" tool (the "nic" method, 15us is the 99.99th
percentile).
2. C1E power break even changed from 20us to 25us, which may result
in less C1E residency in some workloads.
3. C6 latency changed from 50us to 130us. Measured the same way as C1E.
The C6 C-state is supported only by some SnowRidge revisions, so add a C-state
table commentary about this.
On SnowRidge, C6 support is enumerated via the usual mechanism: "mwait" leaf of
the "cpuid" instruction. The 'intel_idle' driver does check this leaf, so even
though C6 is present in the table, the driver will only use it if the CPU does
support it.
