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 SafeSetID update from Micah Morton:
"Add additional LSM hooks for SafeSetID
SafeSetID is capable of making allow/deny decisions for set*uid calls
on a system, and we want to add similar functionality for set*gid
calls.
The work to do that is not yet complete, so probably won't make it in
for v5.8, but we are looking to get this simple patch in for v5.8
since we have it ready.
We are planning on the rest of the work for extending the SafeSetID
LSM being merged during the v5.9 merge window"

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This reverts the direct io port to iomap infrastructure of btrfs
merged in the first pull request. We found problems in invalidate page
that don't seem to be fixable as regressions or without changing iomap
code that would not affect other filesystems.
There are four reverts in total, but three of them are followup
cleanups needed to revert a43a67a2d715 cleanly. The result is the
buffer head based implementation of direct io.
Reverts are not great, but under current circumstances I don't see
better options"
* tag 'for-5.8-part2-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux:
Revert "btrfs: switch to iomap_dio_rw() for dio"
Revert "fs: remove dio_end_io()"
Revert "btrfs: remove BTRFS_INODE_READDIO_NEED_LOCK"
Revert "btrfs: split btrfs_direct_IO to read and write part"
The SafeSetID LSM uses the security_task_fix_setuid hook to filter
set*uid() syscalls according to its configured security policy. In
preparation for adding analagous support in the LSM for set*gid()
syscalls, we add the requisite hook here. Tested by putting print
statements in the security_task_fix_setgid hook and seeing them get hit
during kernel boot.

This reverts commit a43a67a2d715540c1368b9501a22b0373b5874c0.
This patch reverts the main part of switching direct io implementation
to iomap infrastructure. There's a problem in invalidate page that
couldn't be solved as regression in this development cycle.
The problem occurs when buffered and direct io are mixed, and the ranges
overlap. Although this is not recommended, filesystems implement
measures or fallbacks to make it somehow work. In this case, fallback to
buffered IO would be an option for btrfs (this already happens when
direct io is done on compressed data), but the change would be needed in
the iomap code, bringing new semantics to other filesystems.
Another problem arises when again the buffered and direct ios are mixed,
invalidation fails, then -EIO is set on the mapping and fsync will fail,
though there's no real error.
There have been discussions how to fix that, but revert seems to be the
least intrusive option.

On AM65xx MCU CPSW2G NUSS and 66AK2E/L NUSS allmulti setting does not allow
unregistered mcast packets to pass.
This happens, because ALE VLAN entries on these SoCs do not contain port
masks for reg/unreg mcast packets, but instead store indexes of
ALE_VLAN_MASK_MUXx_REG registers which intended for store port masks for
reg/unreg mcast packets.
This path was missed by commit 9d1f6447274f ("net: ethernet: ti: ale: fix
seeing unreg mcast packets with promisc and allmulti disabled").
Hence, fix it by taking into account ALE type in cpsw_ale_set_allmulti().

Yes, staying withing 80 columns is certainly still _preferred_. But
it's not the hard limit that the checkpatch warnings imply, and other
concerns can most certainly dominate.
Increase the default limit to 100 characters. Not because 100
characters is some hard limit either, but that's certainly a "what are
you doing" kind of value and less likely to be about the occasional
slightly longer lines.
Miscellanea:
- to avoid unnecessary whitespace changes in files, checkpatch will no
longer emit a warning about line length when scanning files unless
--strict is also used
- Add a bit to coding-style about alignment to open parenthesis

Pavel noticed that a debug message (disabled by default) in creating the security
descriptor context could be useful for new file creation owner fields
(as we already have for the mode) when using mount parm idsfromsid.
