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 fix from Russell King:

* tag 'for-linus' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 9278/1: kfence: only handle translation faults
memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry->d_name of the specified
control fd to route the write call. As a cgroup interface file can't be
renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a
regular cgroup file. Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be
removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too.
Prior to 347c4a874710 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft"), there was a
call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular
cgroupfs file before further accesses. The cftype pointer returned from
__file_cft() was no longer necessary and the commit inadvertently dropped
the file type check with it allowing any file to slip through. With the
invarients broken, the d_name and parent accesses can now race against
renames and removals of arbitrary files and cause use-after-free's.
Fix the bug by resurrecting the file type check in __file_cft(). Now that
cgroupfs is implemented through kernfs, checking the file operations needs
to go through a layer of indirection. Instead, let's check the superblock
and dentry type.

This reverts commit f35b5d7d676e59e401690b678cd3cfec5e785c23.
It has been reported to cause huge performance regressions on some loads
(will-it-scale.per_process_ops, but also building the kernel with
clang).
The commit did speed up gcc builds by a small amount, so it's not an
unambiguous regression, but until the big regressions are understood,
let's revert it.

Sanity checks were added to verify the v4l2_bt_timings blanking fields
in order to avoid integer overflows when userspace passes weird values.
But that assumed that userspace would correctly fill in the front porch,
backporch and sync values, but sometimes all you know is the total
blanking, which is then assigned to just one of these fields.
And that can fail with these checks.
So instead set a maximum for the total horizontal and vertical
blanking and check that each field remains below that.
That is still sufficient to avoid integer overflows, but it also
allows for more flexibility in how userspace fills in these fields.

Actually in no-MMU SoCs(i.e. i.MXRT) ZERO_PAGE(vaddr) expands to
```
virt_to_page(0)
```
that in order expands to:
```
pfn_to_page(virt_to_pfn(0))
```
and then virt_to_pfn(0) to:
```
((((unsigned long)(0) - PAGE_OFFSET) >> PAGE_SHIFT) +
PHYS_PFN_OFFSET)
```
where PAGE_OFFSET and PHYS_PFN_OFFSET are the DRAM offset(0x80000000) and
PAGE_SHIFT is 12. This way we obtain 16MB(0x01000000) summed to the base of
DRAM(0x80000000).
When ZERO_PAGE(0) is then used, for example in bio_add_page(), the page
gets an address that is out of DRAM bounds.
So instead of using fake virtual page 0 let's allocate a dedicated
zero_page during paging_init() and assign it to a global 'struct page *
empty_zero_page' the same way mmu.c does and it's the same approach used
in m68k with commit dc068f462179 as discussed here[0]. Then let's move
ZERO_PAGE() definition to the top of pgtable.h to be in common between
mmu.c and nommu.c.

For dax pud, pud_huge() returns true on x86. So the function works as long
as hugetlb is configured. However, dax doesn't depend on hugetlb.
Commit 414fd080d125 ("mm/gup: fix gup_pmd_range() for dax") fixed
devmap-backed huge PMDs, but missed devmap-backed huge PUDs. Fix this as
well.
This fixes the below kernel panic:

Currently tpm transactions are executed unconditionally in
tpm_pm_suspend() function, which may lead to races with other tpm
accessors in the system.
Specifically, the hw_random tpm driver makes use of tpm_get_random(),
and this function is called in a loop from a kthread, which means it's
not frozen alongside userspace, and so can race with the work done
during system suspend:
tpm tpm0: tpm_transmit: tpm_recv: error -52
tpm tpm0: invalid TPM_STS.x 0xff, dumping stack for forensics
