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 cxl fixes from Dan Williams:
"Several fixes for CXL region creation crashes, leaks and failures.
This is mainly fallout from the original implementation of dynamic CXL
region creation (instantiate new physical memory pools) that arrived
in v6.0-rc1.
Given the theme of "failures in the presence of pass-through decoders"
this also includes new regression test infrastructure for that case.
Summary:
- Fix region creation crash with pass-through decoders
- Fix region creation crash when no decoder allocation fails
- Fix region creation crash when scanning regions to enforce the
increasing physical address order constraint that CXL mandates
- Fix a memory leak for cxl_pmem_region objects, track 1:N instead of
1:1 memory-device-to-region associations.
- Fix a memory leak for cxl_region objects when regions with active
targets are deleted
- Fix assignment of NUMA nodes to CXL regions by CFMWS (CXL Window)
emulated proximity domains.
- Fix region creation failure for switch attached devices downstream
of a single-port host-bridge
- Fix false positive memory leak of cxl_region objects by recycling
recently used region ids rather than freeing them
- Add regression test infrastructure for a pass-through decoder
configuration
- Fix some mailbox payload handling corner cases"

Pull hwmon fixes from Guenter Roeck:
"Fix two regressions:
- Commit 54cc3dbfc10d ("hwmon: (pmbus) Add regulator supply into
macro") resulted in regulator undercount when disabling regulators.
Revert it.
- The thermal subsystem rework caused the scmi driver to no longer
register with the thermal subsystem because index values no longer
match. To fix the problem, the scmi driver now directly registers
with the thermal subsystem, no longer through the hwmon core"

Revert "hwmon: (pmbus) Add regulator supply into macro"
hwmon: (scmi) Register explicitly with Thermal Framework
At region creation time the next region-id is atomically cached so that
there is predictability of region device names. If that region is
destroyed and then a new one is created the region id increments. That
ends up looking like a memory leak, or is otherwise surprising that
identifiers roll forward even after destroying all previously created
regions.
Try to reuse rather than free old region ids at region release time.
While this fixes a cosmetic issue, the needlessly advancing memory
region-id gives the appearance of a memory leak, hence the "Fixes" tag,
but no "Cc: stable" tag.

This reverts commit 54cc3dbfc10dc3db7cb1cf49aee4477a8398fbde.
Zev Weiss reports that the reverted patch may cause a regulator
undercount. Here is his report:
... having regulator-dummy set as a supply on my PMBus regulators
(instead of having them as their own top-level regulators without
an upstream supply) leads to enable-count underflow errors when
disabling them:
# echo 0 > /sys/bus/platform/devices/efuse01/state
[ 906.094477] regulator-dummy: Underflow of regulator enable count
[ 906.100563] Failed to disable vout: -EINVAL
[ 136.992676] reg-userspace-consumer efuse01: Failed to configure state: -22
Zev reports that reverting the patch fixes the problem. So let's do that
for now.

When programming port decode targets, the algorithm wants to ensure that
two devices are compatible to be programmed as peers beneath a given
port. A compatible peer is a target that shares the same dport, and
where that target's interleave position also routes it to the same
dport. Compatibility is determined by the device's interleave position
being >= to distance. For example, if a given dport can only map every
Nth position then positions less than N away from the last target
programmed are incompatible.
The @distance for the host-bridge's cxl_port in a simple dual-ported
host-bridge configuration with 2 direct-attached devices is 1, i.e. An
x2 region divided by 2 dports to reach 2 region targets.
An x4 region under an x2 host-bridge would need 2 intervening switches
where the @distance at the host bridge level is 2 (x4 region divided by
2 switches to reach 4 devices).
However, the distance between peers underneath a single ported
host-bridge is always zero because there is no limit to the number of
devices that can be mapped. In other words, there are no decoders to
program in a passthrough, all descendants are mapped and distance only
starts matters for the intervening descendant ports of the passthrough
port.
Add tracking for the number of dports mapped to a port, and use that to
detect the passthrough case for calculating @distance.

- Add the proper include to the syscall wrappers so that BTF can see

The intel_pebs_isolation quirk checks both model number and stepping.
Cooper Lake has a different stepping (11) than the other Skylake Xeon.
It cannot benefit from the optimization in commit 9b545c04abd4f
("perf/x86/kvm: Avoid unnecessary work in guest filtering").

Available sensors are enumerated and reported by the SCMI platform server
using a 16bit identification number; not all such sensors are of a type
supported by hwmon subsystem and, among the supported ones, only a subset
could be temperature sensors that have to be registered with the Thermal
Framework.
Potential clashes between hwmon channels indexes and the underlying real
sensors IDs do not play well with the hwmon<-->thermal bridge automatic
registration routines and could need a sensible number of fake dummy
sensors to be made up in order to keep indexes and IDs in sync.
Avoid to use the hwmon<-->thermal bridge dropping the HWMON_C_REGISTER_TZ
attribute and instead explicit register temperature sensors directly with
the Thermal Framework.
