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 be9d73e64957 ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: Fix 0x05 error code reported by
several WMI calls") and commit 12b19f14a21a ("platform/x86: hp-wmi: Fix
hp_wmi_read_int() reporting error (0x05)") cause ACPI BIOS Error (bug):
Attempt to CreateField of length zero (20211217/dsopcode-133) because of
the ACPI method HWMC, which unconditionally creates a Field of
size (insize*8) bits:
CreateField (Arg1, 0x80, (Local5 * 0x08), DAIN)
In cases where args->insize = 0, the Field size is 0, resulting in
an error.
Fix this by using zero insize only if 0x5 error code is returned
Tested on Omen 15 AMD (2020) board ID: 8786.

The trace event "workqueue_queue_work" use unsigned int type for
req_cpu, cpu. This casue confusing cpu number like below log.
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
cat-317 [001] ...: workqueue_queue_work: ... req_cpu=8192 cpu=4294967295
So, change unsigned type to signed type in the trace event. After
applying this patch, cpu number will be printed as -1 instead of
4294967295 as folllows.
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

WMI queries fail on some devices where the ACPI method HWMC
unconditionally attempts to create Fields beyond the buffer
if the buffer is too small, this breaks essential features
such as power profiles:
CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x10, D008)
CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x11, D009)
CreateByteField (Arg1, 0x12, D010)
CreateDWordField (Arg1, 0x10, D032)
CreateField (Arg1, 0x80, 0x0400, D128)
In cases where args->data had zero length, ACPI BIOS Error
(bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D008] at bit
offset/length 128/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (128 bits)
(20211217/dsopcode-198) was obtained.
ACPI BIOS Error (bug): AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT, Field [D009] at bit
offset/length 136/8 exceeds size of target Buffer (136bits)
(20211217/dsopcode-198)
The original code created a buffer size of 128 bytes regardless if
the WMI call required a smaller buffer or not. This particular
behavior occurs in older BIOS and reproduced in OMEN laptops. Newer
BIOS handles buffer sizes properly and meets the latest specification
requirements. This is the reason why testing with a dynamically
allocated buffer did not uncover any failures with the test systems at
hand.
This patch was tested on several OMEN, Elite, and Zbooks. It was
confirmed the patch resolves HPWMI_FAN GET/SET calls in an OMEN
Laptop 15-ek0xxx. No problems were reported when testing on several Elite
and Zbooks notebooks.

Pull random number generator fixes from Jason Donenfeld:
- A fix for a 5.19 regression for a case in which early device tree
initializes the RNG, which flips a static branch.
On most plaforms, jump labels aren't initialized until much later, so
this caused splats. On a few mailing list threads, we cooked up easy
fixes for arm64, arm32, and risc-v. But then things looked slightly
more involved for xtensa, powerpc, arc, and mips. And at that point,
when we're patching 7 architectures in a place before the console is
even available, it seems like the cost/risk just wasn't worth it.
So random.c works around it now by checking the already exported
`static_key_initialized` boolean, as though somebody already ran into
this issue in the past. I'm not super jazzed about that; it'd be
prettier to not have to complicate downstream code. But I suppose
it's practical.
- A few small code nits and adding a missing __init annotation.
- A change to the default config values to use the cpu and bootloader's
seeds for initializing the RNG earlier.
This brings them into line with what all the distros do (Fedora/RHEL,
Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch, NixOS, Alpine, SUSE, and Void... at
least), and moreover will now give us test coverage in various test
beds that might have caught the above device tree bug earlier.
- A change to WireGuard CI's configuration to increase test coverage
around the RNG.
- A documentation comment fix to unrelated maintainerless CRC code that
I was asked to take, I guess because it has to do with polynomials
(which the RNG thankfully no longer uses).
* tag 'random-5.19-rc2-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
wireguard: selftests: use maximum cpu features and allow rng seeding
random: remove rng_has_arch_random()
random: credit cpu and bootloader seeds by default
random: do not use jump labels before they are initialized
random: account for arch randomness in bits
random: mark bootloader randomness code as __init
random: avoid checking crng_ready() twice in random_init()
crc-itu-t: fix typo in CRC ITU-T polynomial comment
Currently, the secondary channels of a multichannel session
also get hostname populated based on the info in primary channel.
However, this will end up with a wrong resolution of hostname to
IP address during reconnect.
This change fixes this by not populating hostname info for all
secondary channels.

Bash 4.4, released in 2016, supports 'wait $!' to check the exit status
of a process substitution, but it seems too new.
Some people using older bash versions (on CentOS 7, Ubuntu 16.04, etc.)
reported an error like this:
./scripts/check-local-export: line 54: wait: pid 17328 is not a child of this shell
I used the process substitution to avoid a pipeline, which executes each
command in a subshell. If the while-loop is executed in the subshell
context, variable changes within are lost after the subshell terminates.
Fortunately, Bash 4.2, released in 2011, supports the 'lastpipe' option,
which makes the last element of a pipeline run in the current shell process.
Switch to the pipeline with 'lastpipe' solution, and also set 'pipefail'
to catch errors from ${NM}.
Add the bash requirement to Documentation/process/changes.rst.
