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.

ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead
tracing/perf: Fix double put of trace event when init fails
tracing: React to error return from traceprobe_parse_event_name()
When kprobes emulates JNG/JNLE instructions on x86 it uses the wrong
condition. For JNG (opcode: 0F 8E), according to Intel SDM, the jump is
performed if (ZF == 1 or SF != OF). However the kernel emulation
currently uses 'and' instead of 'or'.
As a result, setting a kprobe on JNG/JNLE might cause the kernel to
behave incorrectly whenever the kprobe is hit.
Fix by changing the 'and' to 'or'.

All errors lead to the error handling path, except the one dealing
with "reg-names" in DT.
Fix it and release some resources before returning if this test fails.

Users of GNU ld (BFD) from binutils 2.39+ will observe multiple
instances of a new warning when linking kernels in the form:
ld: warning: arch/x86/boot/pmjump.o: missing .note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack
ld: NOTE: This behaviour is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of the linker
ld: warning: arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux has a LOAD segment with RWX permissions
Generally, we would like to avoid the stack being executable. Because
there could be a need for the stack to be executable, assembler sources
have to opt-in to this security feature via explicit creation of the
.note.GNU-stack feature (which compilers create by default) or command
line flag --noexecstack. Or we can simply tell the linker the
production of such sections is irrelevant and to link the stack as
--noexecstack.
LLVM's LLD linker defaults to -z noexecstack, so this flag isn't
strictly necessary when linking with LLD, only BFD, but it doesn't hurt
to be explicit here for all linkers IMO. --no-warn-rwx-segments is
currently BFD specific and only available in the current latest release,
so it's wrapped in an ld-option check.
While the kernel makes extensive usage of ELF sections, it doesn't use
permissions from ELF segments.

The recently merged LoongArch drivers paper over the lack of
topology information by creating a bunch of fwnodes for the
irqchips. So far, so good.
However, irq_domain_alloc_fwnode() is supposed to take a PA, and
not a kernel VA blindly cast as a PA, potentially disclosing
kernel VAs to userspace. In some other cases, even NULL is used
as the PA, which is entertaining.
Fix this by using the actual PA of the block when available,
and switch to a named fwnode in the other cases.

Pull cifs client fixes from Steve French:
- memory leak fix
- two small cleanups
- trivial strlcpy removal
- update missing entry for cifs headers in MAINTAINERS file
* tag '6.0-rc1-smb3-client-fixes' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
cifs: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy
cifs: Fix memory leak on the deferred close
cifs: remove useless parameter 'is_fsctl' from SMB2_ioctl()
cifs: remove unused server parameter from calc_smb_size()
cifs: missing directory in MAINTAINERS file
If for whatever reasons pm_runtime_resume_and_get() fails and .remove() is
exited early, the i2c adapter stays around and the irq still calls its
handler, while the driver data and the register mapping go away. So if
later the i2c adapter is accessed or the irq triggers this results in
havoc accessing freed memory and unmapped registers.
So unregister the software resources even if resume failed, and only skip
the hardware access in that case.
