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.

Commit 110860541f44 ("mm/secretmem: use refcount_t instead of atomic_t")
attempted to fix the problem of secretmem_users wrapping to zero and
allowing suspend once again.
But it was reverted in commit 87066fdd2e30 ("Revert 'mm/secretmem: use
refcount_t instead of atomic_t'") because of the problems it caused - a
refcount_t was not semantically the right type to use.
Instead prevent secretmem_users from wrapping to zero by forbidding new
users if the number of users has wrapped from positive to negative.
This stops a long way short of reaching the necessary 4 billion users
where it wraps to zero again, so there's no need to be clever with
special anti-wrap types or checking the return value from atomic_inc().

Commit efafec27c565 ("spi: Fix tegra20 build with CONFIG_PM=n") already
fixed the build without PM support once. There was an alternative fix
by Guenter in commit 2bab94090b01 ("spi: tegra20-slink: Declare runtime
suspend and resume functions conditionally"), and Mark then merged the
two correctly in ffb1e76f4f32 ("Merge tag 'v5.15-rc2' into spi-5.15").
But for some inexplicable reason, Mark then merged things _again_ in
commit 59c4e190b10c ("Merge tag 'v5.15-rc3' into spi-5.15"), and screwed
things up at that point, and the __maybe_unused attribute on
tegra_slink_runtime_resume() went missing.
Reinstate it, so that alpha (and other architectures without PM support)
builds cleanly again.
Btw, this is another prime example of how random back-merges are not
good. Just don't do them. Subsystem developers should not merge my
tree in any normal circumstances. Both of those merge commits pointed
to above are bad: even the one that got the merge result right doesn't
even mention _why_ it was done, and the one that got it wrong is
obviously broken.

be the AMD IRQ storm fix affecting the Microsoft surface.
Summary:
- Three fixes pertaining to Broadcom DT bindings. Some stuff didn't
work out as inteded, we need to back out
- A resume bug fix in the STM32 driver
- Disable and mask the interrupts on probe in the AMD pinctrl driver,
affecting Microsoft surface"

dt-bindings: pinctrl: brcm,ns-pinmux: drop unneeded CRU from example
Revert "dt-bindings: pinctrl: bcm4708-pinmux: rework binding to use syscon"
mv_init_host() propagates the value returned by mv_chip_id() which in turn
gets propagated by mv_pci_init_one() and hits local_pci_probe().
During the process of driver probing, the probe function should return < 0
for failure, otherwise, the kernel will treat value > 0 as success.
Since this is a bug rather than a recoverable runtime error we should
use dev_alert() instead of dev_err().

In randconfig builds, we sometimes come across this warning:
arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: XIP start address may cause MPU programming issues
While this is helpful for actual systems to figure out why it
fails, the warning does not provide any benefit for build testing,
so guard it in a check for CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST, which is usually
set on randconfig builds.

This reverts commit 110860541f443f950c1274f217a1a3e298670a33.
Converting the "secretmem_users" counter to a refcount is incorrect,
because a refcount is special in zero and can't just be incremented (but
a count of users is not, and "no users" is actually perfectly valid and
not a sign of a free'd resource).

Some systems such as the Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 leave interrupts
enabled and configured for use in sleep states on boot, which cause
unexpected behaviour such as spurious wakes and failed resumes in
s2idle states.
As interrupts should not be enabled until they are claimed and
explicitly enabled, disabling any interrupts mistakenly left enabled by
firmware should be safe.
