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 ata fixes from Niklas Cassel:
- Add NOLPM quirk for for all Crucial BX SSD1 models.
Considering that we now have had bug reports for 3 different BX SSD1
variants from Crucial with the same product name, make the quirk more
inclusive, to catch more device models from the same generation.
- Fix a trivial NULL pointer dereference in the error path for
ata_host_release().
- Create a ata_port_free(), so that we don't miss freeing ata_port
struct members when freeing a struct ata_port.
- Fix a trivial double free in the error path for ata_host_alloc().
- Ensure that we remove the libata "remapped NVMe device count" sysfs
entry on .probe() error.

.probe() (ahci_init_one()) calls sysfs_add_file_to_group(), however,
if probe() fails after this call, we currently never call
sysfs_remove_file_from_group().
(The sysfs_remove_file_from_group() call in .remove() (ahci_remove_one())
does not help, as .remove() is not called on .probe() error.)
Thus, if probe() fails after the sysfs_add_file_to_group() call, the next
time we insmod the module we will get:

The kernel test robot reported that clang no longer compiles the 32-bit
x86 kernel in some configurations due to commit 95ece48165c1
("locking/atomic/x86: Rewrite x86_32 arch_atomic64_{,fetch}_{and,or,xor}()
functions").
The build fails with
arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_32.h:149:9: error: inline assembly requires more registers than available
and the reason seems to be that not only does the cmpxchg8b instruction
need four fixed registers (EDX:EAX and ECX:EBX), with the emulation
fallback the inline asm also wants a fifth fixed register for the
address (it uses %esi for that, but that's just a software convention
with cmpxchg8b_emu).
Avoiding using another pointer input to the asm (and just forcing it to
use the "0(%esi)" addressing that we end up requiring for the sw
fallback) seems to fix the issue.

If e.g. the ata_port_alloc() call in ata_host_alloc() fails, we will jump
to the err_out label, which will call devres_release_group().
devres_release_group() will trigger a call to ata_host_release().
ata_host_release() calls kfree(host), so executing the kfree(host) in
ata_host_alloc() will lead to a double free:

libsas is currently not freeing all the struct ata_port struct members,
e.g. ncq_sense_buf for a driver supporting Command Duration Limits (CDL).
Add a function, ata_port_free(), that is used to free a ata_port,
including its struct members. It makes sense to keep the code related to
freeing a ata_port in its own function, which will also free all the
struct members of struct ata_port.
