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 Olof Johansson:
"A set of fixes that have trickled in over the last couple of weeks:
- MAINTAINER update for Cavium/Marvell ThunderX2
- stm32 tweaks to pinmux for Joystick/Camera, and RAM allocation for
CAN interfaces
- i.MX fixes for voltage regulator GPIO mappings, fixes voltage
scaling issues
- More i.MX fixes for various issues on i.MX eval boards: interrupt
storm due to u-boot leaving pins in new states, fixing power button
config, a couple of compatible-string corrections.
- Powerdown and Suspend/Resume fixes for Allwinner A83-based tablets
- A few documentation tweaks and a fix of a memory leak in the reset
subsystem"

Pull IIO fixes and staging driver from Greg KH:
"Here is a mix of a number of IIO driver fixes for 5.4-rc7, and a whole
new staging driver.
The IIO fixes resolve some reported issues, all are tiny.
The staging driver addition is the vboxsf filesystem, which is the
VirtualBox guest shared folder code. Hans has been trying to get
filesystem reviewers to review the code for many months now, and
Christoph finally said to just merge it in staging now as it is
stand-alone and the filesystem people can review it easier over time
that way.
I know it's late for this big of an addition, but it is stand-alone.
The code has been in linux-next for a while, long enough to pick up a
few tiny fixes for it already so people are looking at it.
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"
* tag 'staging-5.4-rc7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging:

jnair is no longer at caviumnetworks.com (or at marvell.com). This also
means that Cavium ThunderX2 will now be maintained by Robert.
This is probably a good time to map various email addresses used for
my patches to my personal email ID, update .mailmap to do this.

STM32 DT fixes for v5.4, round 2
Highlights:
-----------
Fixes for STM32MP157:
-Fix CAN RAM mapping
-Change stmfx pinctrl definition for joystick and camera. Due to
stmfx pinctrl fix done in v5.4-rc cycle, camera and joystick were no
longer functional.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A small set of fixes for x86:
- Make the tsc=reliable/nowatchdog command line parameter work again.
It was broken with the introduction of the early TSC clocksource.
- Prevent the evaluation of exception stacks before they are set up.
This causes a crash in dumpstack because the stack walk termination
gets screwed up.
- Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in the rescource control file
system.
- Avoid bogus warnings about APIC id mismatch related to the LDR
which can happen when the LDR is not in use and therefore not
initialized. Only evaluate that when the APIC is in logical
destination mode"
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/tsc: Respect tsc command line paraemeter for clocksource_tsc_early
x86/dumpstack/64: Don't evaluate exception stacks before setup
x86/apic/32: Avoid bogus LDR warnings
x86/resctrl: Prevent NULL pointer dereference when reading mondata
When create symbolic link, create_link should calculate the depth
of the parent item. However, both the first and second parameters
of configfs_get_target_path had been set to the target. Broken
