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 RISC-V fixes from Paul Walmsley:
"One important fix for RISC-V:
- Redirect any incoming syscall with an ID less than -1 to
sys_ni_syscall, rather than allowing them to fall through into the
syscall handler.
and two minor build fixes:
- Export __asm_copy_{from,to}_user() from where they are defined.
This fixes a build error triggered by some randconfigs.
- Export flush_icache_all(). I'd resisted this before, since
historically we didn't want modules to be able to flush the I$
directly; but apparently everyone else is doing it now"
* tag 'riscv/for-v5.5-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux:
riscv: export flush_icache_all to modules
riscv: reject invalid syscalls below -1
riscv: fix compile failure with EXPORT_SYMBOL() & !MMU
Pull /proc/locks formatting fix from Jeff Layton:
"This is a trivial fix for a _very_ long standing bug in /proc/locks
formatting. Ordinarily, I'd wait for the merge window for something
like this, but it is making it difficult to validate some overlayfs
fixes.
I've also gone ahead and marked this for stable"
* tag 'locks-v5.5-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jlayton/linux:
locks: print unsigned ino in /proc/locks
This is needed by LKDTM (crash dump test module), it calls
flush_icache_range(), which on RISC-V turns into flush_icache_all(). On
other architectures, the actual implementation is exported, so follow
that precedence and export it here too.
Fixes build of CONFIG_LKDTM that fails with:
ERROR: "flush_icache_all" [drivers/misc/lkdtm/lkdtm.ko] undefined!

Pull cifs fixes from Steve French:
"One performance fix for large directory searches, and one minor style
cleanup noticed by Clang"
* tag '5.5-rc3-smb3-fixes' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
cifs: Optimize readdir on reparse points
cifs: Adjust indentation in smb2_open_file
An ino is unsigned, so display it as such in /proc/locks.

Running "stress-ng --enosys 4 -t 20 -v" showed a large number of kernel oops
with "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address" message. This
happens when enosys stressor starts testing random non-valid syscalls.
I forgot to redirect any syscall below -1 to sys_ni_syscall.
With the patch kernel oops messages are gone while running stress-ng enosys
stressor.

Pull SCSI fixes from James Bottomley:
"Four fixes and one spelling update, all in drivers: two in lpfc and
the rest in mp3sas, cxgbi and target"
* tag 'scsi-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/scsi:
scsi: target/iblock: Fix protection error with blocks greater than 512B
scsi: libcxgbi: fix NULL pointer dereference in cxgbi_device_destroy()
scsi: lpfc: fix spelling mistakes of asynchronous
scsi: lpfc: fix build failure with DEBUGFS disabled
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix double free in attach error handling
When listing a directory with thounsands of files and most of them are
reparse points, we simply marked all those dentries for revalidation
and then sending additional (compounded) create/getinfo/close requests
for each of them.
Instead, upon receiving a response from an SMB2_QUERY_DIRECTORY
(FileIdFullDirectoryInformation) command, the directory entries that
have a file attribute of FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT will contain an
EaSize field with a reparse tag in it, so we parse it and mark the
dentry for revalidation only if it is a DFS or a symlink.

When support for !MMU was added, the declaration of
__asm_copy_to_user() & __asm_copy_from_user() were #ifdefed
out hence their EXPORT_SYMBOL() give an error message like:
.../riscv_ksyms.c:13:15: error: '__asm_copy_to_user' undeclared here
.../riscv_ksyms.c:14:15: error: '__asm_copy_from_user' undeclared here
Since these symbols are not defined with !MMU it's wrong to export them.
Same for __clear_user() (even though this one is also declared in
include/asm-generic/uaccess.h and thus doesn't give an error message).
Fix this by doing the EXPORT_SYMBOL() directly where these symbols
are defined: inside lib/uaccess.S itself.

Pull drm fixes from Dave Airlie:
"Post-xmas food coma recovery fixes. Only three fixes for i915 since I
expect most people are holidaying.
i915:
- power management rc6 fix
- framebuffer tracking fix
- display power management ratelimit fix"
* tag 'drm-fixes-2019-12-28' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm/drm:
drm/i915: Hold reference to intel_frontbuffer as we track activity
drm/i915/gt: Ratelimit display power w/a
drm/i915/pmu: Ensure monotonic rc6
The sector size of the block layer is 512 bytes, but integrity interval
size might be different (in case of 4K block size of the media). At the
initiator side the virtual start sector is the one that was originally
submitted by the block layer (512 bytes) for the Reftag usage. The
initiator converts the Reftag to integrity interval units and sends it to
the target. So the target virtual start sector should be calculated at
integrity interval units. prepare_fn() and complete_fn() don't remap
correctly the Reftag when using incorrect units of the virtual start
sector, which leads to the following protection error at the device:
"blk_update_request: protection error, dev sdb, sector 2048 op 0x0:(READ)
flags 0x10000 phys_seg 1 prio class 0"
To fix that, set the seed in integrity interval units.

Clang warns:

if (oparms->tcon->use_resilient) {

1 warning generated.
This warning occurs because there is a space after the tab on this line.
Remove it so that the indentation is consistent with the Linux kernel
coding style and clang no longer warns.
