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 reStructuredText 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 perf tools fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Update copies of kernel headers, which resulted in support for the
new 'mseal' syscall, SUBVOL statx return mask bit, RISC-V and PPC
prctls, fcntl's DUPFD_QUERY, POSTED_MSI_NOTIFICATION IRQ vector,
'map_shadow_stack' syscall for x86-32.
- Revert perf.data record memory allocation optimization that ended up
causing a regression, work is being done to re-introduce it in the
next merge window.
- Fix handling of minimal vmlinux.h file used with BPF's CO-RE when
interrupting the build.

Pull EDAC fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Convert PCI core error codes to proper error numbers since latter get
propagated all the way up to the module loading functions
* tag 'edac_urgent_for_v6.10_rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ras/ras:
EDAC/igen6: Convert PCIBIOS_* return codes to errnos
EDAC/amd64: Convert PCIBIOS_* return codes to errnos
Ingo reported that he was seeing these when hitting Control+C during a
perf tools build:
Makefile.perf:1149: *** Missing bpftool input for generating vmlinux.h. Stop.
The failure happens when you don't have vmlinux.h or vmlinux with BTF.
ifeq ($(VMLINUX_H),)
ifeq ($(VMLINUX_BTF),)
$(error Missing bpftool input for generating vmlinux.h)
endif
endif
VMLINUX_BTF can be empty if you didn't build a kernel or it doesn't have
a BTF section and the current kernel also has no BTF. This is totally
ok.
But VMLINUX_H should be set to the minimal version in the source tree
(unless you overwrite it manually) when you don't pass GEN_VMLINUX_H=1
(which requires VMLINUX_BTF should not be empty). The problem is that
it's defined in Makefile.config which is not included for `make clean`.

Pull clk fix from Stephen Boyd:
"One fix for the SiFive PRCI clocks so that the device boots again.
This driver was registering clkdev lookups that were always going to
be useless. This wasn't a problem until clkdev started returning an
error in these cases, causing this driver to fail probe, and thus boot
to fail because clks are essential for most drivers. The fix is
simple, don't use clkdev because this is a DT based system where
clkdev isn't used"

errcmd_enable_error_reporting() uses pci_{read,write}_config_word()
that return PCIBIOS_* codes. The return code is then returned all the
way into the probe function igen6_probe() that returns it as is. The
probe functions, however, should return normal errnos.
Convert PCIBIOS_* returns code using pcibios_err_to_errno() into normal
errno before returning it from errcmd_enable_error_reporting().

These clkdevs were unnecessary, because systems using this driver always
look up clocks using the devicetree. And as Russell King points out[1],
since the provided device name was truncated, lookups via clkdev would
never match.
Recently, commit 8d532528ff6a ("clkdev: report over-sized strings when
creating clkdev entries") caused clkdev registration to fail due to the
truncation, and this now prevents the driver from probing. Fix the
driver by removing the clkdev registration.

gpu_get_node_map() uses pci_read_config_dword() that returns PCIBIOS_*
codes. The return code is then returned all the way into the module
init function amd64_edac_init() that returns it as is. The module init
functions, however, should return normal errnos.
Convert PCIBIOS_* returns code using pcibios_err_to_errno() into normal
errno before returning it from gpu_get_node_map().
For consistency, convert also the other similar cases which return
PCIBIOS_* codes even if they do not have any bugs at the moment.

0ce85db6c2141b7f ("arm64: cputype: Add Neoverse-V3 definitions")
02a0a04676fa7796 ("arm64: cputype: Add Cortex-X4 definitions")
f4d9d9dcc70b96b5 ("arm64: Add Neoverse-V2 part")
That makes this perf source code to be rebuilt:
CC /tmp/build/perf-tools/util/arm-spe.o
The changes in the above patch add MIDR_NEOVERSE_V[23] and
MIDR_NEOVERSE_V1 is used in arm-spe.c, so probably we need to add those
and perhaps MIDR_CORTEX_X4 to that array? Or maybe we need to leave this
for later when this is all tested on those machines?
static const struct midr_range neoverse_spe[] = {
MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS(MIDR_NEOVERSE_N1),
MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS(MIDR_NEOVERSE_N2),
MIDR_ALL_VERSIONS(MIDR_NEOVERSE_V1),
{},
};
Mark Rutland recommended about arm-spe.c:
"I would not touch this for now -- someone would have to go audit the
TRMs to check that those other cores have the same encoding, and I think
it'd be better to do that as a follow-up."
That addresses this perf build warning:
