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.

In commit c8c3735997a3 ("parisc: Enhance detection of synchronous cr16
clocksources") I assumed that CPUs on the same physical core are syncronous.
While booting up the kernel on two different C8000 machines, one with a
dual-core PA8800 and one with a dual-core PA8900 CPU, this turned out to be
wrong. The symptom was that I saw a jump in the internal clocks printed to the
syslog and strange overall behaviour. On machines which have 4 cores (2
dual-cores) the problem isn't visible, because the current logic already marked
the cr16 clocksource unstable in this case.
This patch now marks the cr16 interval timers unstable if we have more than one
CPU in the system, and it fixes this issue.

In cdnsp_endpoint_init(), cdnsp_ring_alloc() is assigned to pep->ring
and there is a dereference of it in cdnsp_endpoint_init(), which could
lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of cdnsp_ring_alloc().
Fix this bug by adding a check of pep->ring.
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_USB_CDNSP_GADGET=y show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

Pull timer fix from Borislav Petkov:
- Prevent a tick storm when a dedicated timekeeper CPU in nohz_full

timers/nohz: Last resort update jiffies on nohz_full IRQ entry
There is a small window in time during resume where the hardware
flow control signal RTS can be asserted (which allows a sender to
resume sending data to the UART) but the baud rate has not yet
been restored. This will cause corrupted data and FRAMING, OVERRUN
and BREAK errors. This is happening because the MCTRL register is
shadowed in uart_port struct and is later used during resume to set
the MCTRL register during both serial8250_do_startup() and
uart_resume_port(). Unfortunately, serial8250_do_startup()
happens before the UART baud rate is restored. The fix is to clear
the shadowed mctrl value at the end of suspend and restore it at the
end of resume.

Pull scheduler fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Properly init uclamp_flags of a runqueue, on first enqueuing
- Fix preempt= callback return values
- Correct utime/stime resource usage reporting on nohz_full to return
the proper times instead of shorter ones
* tag 'sched_urgent_for_v5.16_rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
sched/uclamp: Fix rq->uclamp_max not set on first enqueue
preempt/dynamic: Fix setup_preempt_mode() return value
sched/cputime: Fix getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD) with nohz_full
When at least one CPU runs in nohz_full mode, a dedicated timekeeper CPU
is guaranteed to stay online and to never stop its tick.
Meanwhile on some rare case, the dedicated timekeeper may be running
with interrupts disabled for a while, such as in stop_machine.
If jiffies stop being updated, a nohz_full CPU may end up endlessly
programming the next tick in the past, taking the last jiffies update
monotonic timestamp as a stale base, resulting in an tick storm.
Here is a scenario where it matters:
0) CPU 0 is the timekeeper and CPU 1 a nohz_full CPU.
1) A stop machine callback is queued to execute somewhere.
2) CPU 0 reaches MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ while CPU 1 is still in
MULTI_STOP_PREPARE. Hence CPU 0 can't do its timekeeping duty. CPU 1
can still take IRQs.
3) CPU 1 receives an IRQ which queues a timer callback one jiffy forward.
4) On IRQ exit, CPU 1 schedules the tick one jiffy forward, taking
last_jiffies_update as a base. But last_jiffies_update hasn't been
updated for 2 jiffies since the timekeeper has interrupts disabled.
5) clockevents_program_event(), which relies on ktime_get(), observes
that the expiration is in the past and therefore programs the min
delta event on the clock.
6) The tick fires immediately, goto 3)
7) Tick storm, the nohz_full CPU is drown and takes ages to reach
MULTI_STOP_DISABLE_IRQ, which is the only way out of this situation.
Solve this with unconditionally updating jiffies if the value is stale
on nohz_full IRQ entry. IRQs and other disturbances are expected to be
rare enough on nohz_full for the unconditional call to ktime_get() to
actually matter.
