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 Arnd Bergmann:
"Another smaller set of fixes for three of the Arm platforms:
TI OMAP:
Fix swapped mmc device order also for omap3 that got changed with
the recent PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS changes. While eventually the
aliases should be board specific, all the mmc device instances are
all there in the SoC, and we do probe them by default so that PM
runtime can idle the devices if left enabled from the bootloader.
Qualcomm Snapdragon:
This bypasses the recently introduced interconnect handling in
the GENI (serial engine) driver when running off ACPI, as this
causes the GENI probe to fail and the Lenovo Yoga C630 to boot
without keyboard and touchpad.
Allwinner:
One 32kHz clock fix for the beelink gs1, a CD polarity fix for the
SoPine, some MAINTAINERS maintainance, and a clk / reset switch to
our headers"

Since uprobes is not supported for thumb, check that the thumb bit is
not set when matching the uprobes instruction hooks.
The Arm UDF instructions used for uprobes triggering
(UPROBE_SWBP_ARM_INSN and UPROBE_SS_ARM_INSN) coincidentally share the
same encoding as a pair of unallocated 32-bit thumb instructions (not
UDF) when the condition code is 0b1111 (0xf). This in effect makes it
possible to trigger the uprobes functionality from thumb, and at that
using two unallocated instructions which are not permanently undefined.

Pull vmwgfx fixes from Dave Airlie:
"This contains two regression fixes for vmwgfx, one due to a refactor

buffers.

When the cache_type for the SCSI device is changed, the SCSI layer issues a
MODE_SELECT command. The caching mode details are communicated via a
request buffer associated with the SCSI command with data direction set as
DMA_TO_DEVICE (scsi_mode_select()). When this command reaches the libata
layer, as a part of generic initial setup, libata layer sets up the
scatterlist for the command using the SCSI command (ata_scsi_qc_new()).
This command is then translated by the libata layer into
ATA_CMD_SET_FEATURES (ata_scsi_mode_select_xlat()). The libata layer treats
this as a non-data command (ata_mselect_caching()), since it only needs an
ATA taskfile to pass the caching on/off information to the device. It does
not need the scatterlist that has been setup, so it does not perform
dma_map_sg() on the scatterlist (ata_qc_issue()). Unfortunately, when this
command reaches the libsas layer (sas_ata_qc_issue()), libsas layer sees it
as a non-data command with a scatterlist. It cannot extract the correct DMA
length since the scatterlist has not been mapped with dma_map_sg() for a
DMA operation. When this partially constructed SAS task reaches pm80xx
LLDD, it results in the following warning:
"pm80xx_chip_sata_req 6058: The sg list address
start_addr=0x0000000000000000 data_len=0x0end_addr_high=0xffffffff
end_addr_low=0xffffffff has crossed 4G boundary"
Update libsas to handle ATA non-data commands separately so num_scatter and
total_xfer_len remain 0.

Since commit 30fdfb929e82 ("PCI: Add a call to pci_assign_irq() in
pci_device_probe()"), the PCI code will call the IRQ mapping function
whenever a PCI driver is probed. If these are marked as __init, this
causes an oops if a PCI driver is loaded or bound after the kernel has
initialised.

Currently, GENI devices like i2c-qcom-geni fails to probe in ACPI boot,
if interconnect support is enabled. That's because interconnect driver
only supports DT right now. As interconnect is not necessarily required
for basic function of GENI devices, let's shield geni_icc_get() call,
and then all other ICC calls become nop due to NULL icc_path, so that
GENI devices keep working for ACPI boot.

Also some omap3 devices like n900 seem to have eMMC and micro-sd swapped
around with commit 21b2cec61c04 ("mmc: Set PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS for
drivers that existed in v4.4").
Let's fix the issue with aliases as discussed on the mailing lists. While
the mmc aliases should be board specific, let's first fix the issue with
minimal changes.
