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 block fix from Jens Axboe:
"Just a single fix for a patch from Greg KH, which reportedly break
block debugfs locations for certain setups. Trivial enough that I
think we should include it now, rather than wait and release 5.2 with
it, since it's a regression in this series"
* tag 'for-linus-20190706' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
blk-mq: fix up placement of debugfs directory of queue files
Pull MIPS fixes from Paul Burton:
"A few more MIPS fixes:
- Fix a silly typo in virt_addr_valid which led to completely bogus
behavior (that happened to stop tripping up hardened usercopy
despite being broken).
- Fix UART parity setup on AR933x systems.
- A build fix for non-Linux build machines.
- Have the 'all' make target build DTBs, primarily to fit in with the
behavior of scripts/package/builddeb.
- Handle an execution hazard in TLB exceptions that use KScratch
registers, which could inadvertently clobber the $1 register on
some generally higher-end out-of-order CPUs.
- A MAINTAINERS update to fix the path to the NAND driver for Ingenic
systems"
* tag 'mips_fixes_5.2_2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux:
MAINTAINERS: Correct path to moved files
MIPS: Add missing EHB in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.
MIPS: have "plain" make calls build dtbs for selected platforms
MIPS: fix build on non-linux hosts
MIPS: ath79: fix ar933x uart parity mode
MIPS: Fix bounds check virt_addr_valid
When the blk-mq debugfs file creation logic was "cleaned up" it was
cleaned up too much, causing the queue file to not be created in the
correct location. Turns out the check for the directory being present
is needed as if that has not happened yet, the files should not be
created, and the function will be called later on in the initialization
code so that the files can be created in the correct location.

Add a missing EHB (Execution Hazard Barrier) in mtc0 -> mfc0 sequence.
Without this execution hazard barrier it's possible for the value read
back from the KScratch register to be the value from before the mtc0.
Reproducible on P5600 & P6600.
The hazard is documented in the MIPS Architecture Reference Manual Vol.
III: MIPS32/microMIPS32 Privileged Resource Architecture (MD00088), rev
6.03 table 8.1 which includes:
Producer | Consumer | Hazard

which occurs because using a kernel side submission thread isn't valid
without using fixed files (registered through io_uring_register()). This
causes io_uring to put the request after logging an error, but before
the file field is set in the request. If it happens to be non-zero, we
attempt to fput() garbage.
Fix this by ensuring that req->file is initialized when the request is
allocated.

It is possible for an irq triggered by channel0 to be received later
after clks are disabled once firmware loaded during sdma probe. If
that happens then clearing them by writing to SDMA_H_INTR won't work
and the kernel will hang processing infinite interrupts. Actually,
don't need interrupt triggered on channel0 since it's pollling
SDMA_H_STATSTOP to know channel0 done rather than interrupt in
current code, just clear BD_INTR to disable channel0 interrupt to
avoid the above case.
This issue was brought by commit 1d069bfa3c78 ("dmaengine: imx-sdma:
ack channel 0 IRQ in the interrupt handler") which didn't take care
the above case.
