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 clk fixes from Stephen Boyd:
"A set of clk fixes for the Qualcomm, Mediatek, and Allwinner drivers:
- Fix the Qualcomm Stromer Plus PLL set_rate() clk_op to explicitly
set the alpha enable bit and not set bits that don't exist
- Mark Qualcomm IPQ9574 crypto clks as voted to avoid stuck clk
warnings
- Fix the parent of some PLLs on Qualcomm sm6530 so their rate is
correct
- Fix the min/max rate clamping logic in the Allwinner driver that
got broken in v6.9
- Limit runtime PM enabling in the Mediatek driver to only
mt8183-mfgcfg so that system wide resume doesn't break on other
Mediatek SoCs"

* tag '6.10-rc6-smb3-client-fix' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
cifs: Fix read-performance regression by dropping readahead expansion
Currently building the powerpc selftests with USERCFLAGS set to anything
causes the build to break:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/powerpc V=1 USERCFLAGS=-Wno-error
...
gcc -Wno-error cache_shape.c ...
cache_shape.c:18:10: fatal error: utils.h: No such file or directory
18 | #include "utils.h"
| ^~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
This happens because the USERCFLAGS are added to CFLAGS in lib.mk, which
causes the check of CFLAGS in powerpc/flags.mk to skip setting CFLAGS at
all, resulting in none of the usual CFLAGS being passed. That can
be seen in the output above, the only flag passed to the compiler is
-Wno-error.
Fix it by dropping the conditional setting of CFLAGS in flags.mk.
Instead always set CFLAGS, but also append USERCFLAGS if they are set.
Note that appending to CFLAGS (with +=) wouldn't work, because flags.mk
is included by multiple Makefiles (to support partial builds), causing
CFLAGS to be appended to multiple times. Additionally that would place
the USERCFLAGS prior to the standard CFLAGS, meaning the USERCFLAGS
couldn't override the standard flags. Being able to override the
standard flags is desirable, for example for adding -Wno-error.
With the fix in place, the CFLAGS are set correctly, including the
USERCFLAGS:
$ make -C tools/testing/selftests/powerpc V=1 USERCFLAGS=-Wno-error
...
gcc -std=gnu99 -O2 -Wall -Werror -DGIT_VERSION='"v6.10-rc2-7-gdea17e7e56c3"'

Commit 2f7b1d8b5505 ("clk: mediatek: Do a runtime PM get on controllers
during probe") enabled runtime PM for all mediatek clock controllers,
but this introduced an issue on the resume path.
If a device resumes earlier than the clock controller and calls
clk_prepare() when runtime PM is enabled on the controller, it will end
up calling clk_pm_runtime_get(). But the subsequent
pm_runtime_resume_and_get() call will fail because the runtime PM is
temporarily disabled during suspend.
To workaround this, introduce a need_runtime_pm flag and only enable it
on mt8183-mfgcfg, which is the driver that observed deadlock previously.
Hopefully mt8183-cfgcfg won't run into the issue at the resume stage
because the GPU should have stopped rendering before the system calls
suspend.

The crypto_ahb and crypto_axi clks are hardware voteable.
This means that the halt bit isn't reliable because some
other voter in the system, e.g. TrustZone, could be keeping
the clk enabled when the kernel turns it off from clk_disable().
Make these clks use voting mode by changing the halt check to
BRANCH_HALT_VOTED and toggle the voting bit in the voting register
instead of directly controlling the branch by writing to the branch
register. This fixes stuck clk warnings seen on ipq9574 and saves
power by actually turning the clk off.
Also changes the CRYPTO_AHB_CLK_ENA & CRYPTO_AXI_CLK_ENA
offset to 0xb004 from 0x16014.

i2c: pnx: Fix potential deadlock warning from del_timer_sync() call in isr
cifs_expand_read() is causing a performance regression of around 30% by
causing extra pagecache to be allocated for an inode in the readahead path
before we begin actually dispatching RPC requests, thereby delaying the
actual I/O. The expansion is sized according to the rsize parameter, which
seems to be 4MiB on my test system; this is a big step up from the first
requests made by the fio test program.
Simple repro (look at read bandwidth number):
fio --name=writetest --filename=/xfstest.test/foo --time_based --runtime=60 --size=16M --numjobs=1 --rw=read
Fix this by removing cifs_expand_readahead(). Readahead expansion is
mostly useful for when we're using the local cache if the local cache has a
block size greater than PAGE_SIZE, so we can dispense with it when not
caching.

kexec on pseries disables AIL (reloc_on_exc), required for scv
instruction support, before other CPUs have been shut down. This means
they can execute scv instructions after AIL is disabled, which causes an
interrupt at an unexpected entry location that crashes the kernel.
Change the kexec sequence to disable AIL after other CPUs have been
brought down.
As a refresher, the real-mode scv interrupt vector is 0x17000, and the
fixed-location head code probably couldn't easily deal with implementing
such high addresses so it was just decided not to support that interrupt
at all.
