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.

The Arch Linux glibc package contains a versioned dependency on
"linux-api-headers". If the linux-api-headers package provided by
pacman-pkg does not specify an explicit version this dependency is not
satisfied.
Fix the dependency by providing an explicit version.

With the latest binutils, modpost fails with a bus error on some
architectures such as ARM and sparc64.
Since binutils commit 1f1b5e506bf0 ("bfd/ELF: restrict file alignment
for object files"), the byte offset to each section (sh_offset) in
relocatable ELF is no longer guaranteed to be aligned.
modpost parses MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() data structures, which are usually
located in the .rodata section. If it is not properly aligned, unaligned
access errors may occur.
To address the issue, this commit imports the get_unaligned() helper
from include/linux/unaligned.h.
The get_unaligned_native() helper caters to the endianness in addition
to handling the unaligned access.
I slightly refactored do_pcmcia_entry() and do_input() to avoid writing
back to an unaligned address. (We would need the put_unaligned() helper
to do that.)
The addend_*_rel() functions need similar adjustments because the .text
sections are not aligned either.
It seems that the .symtab, .rel.* and .rela.* sections are still aligned.
Keep normal pointer access for these sections to avoid unnecessary
performance costs.

The orc_sort_cmp() function, used with qsort(), previously violated the
symmetry and transitivity rules required by the C standard. Specifically,
when both entries are ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, it could result in both a < b
and b < a, which breaks the required symmetry and transitivity. This can
lead to undefined behavior and incorrect sorting results, potentially
causing memory corruption in glibc implementations [1].
Symmetry: If x < y, then y > x.
Transitivity: If x < y and y < z, then x < z.
Fix the comparison logic to return 0 when both entries are
ORC_TYPE_UNDEFINED, ensuring compliance with qsort() requirements.

The commit 3ab1663af6c1 ("watchdog: stm32_iwdg: Add pretimeout support")
introduces the support for the pre-timeout interrupt.
The support for this interrupt is optional but the driver uses the
platform_get_irq() which produces an error message during the driver
probe if we don't have any `interrupts` property in the DT.
Use the platform_get_irq_optional() API to get rid of the error message
as this property is optional.

In accordance with LicheePi 4A BSP the clock that comes to emmc/sdhci
is 198Mhz which is got through frequency division of source clock
VIDEO PLL by 4 [1].
But now the AP_SUBSYS driver sets the CLK EMMC SDIO to the same
frequency as the VIDEO PLL, equal to 792 MHz. This causes emmc/sdhci
to work 4 times slower.
Let's fix this issue by adding fixed factor clock that divides
VIDEO PLL by 4 for emmc/sdhci.

Since the string data to copy from userspace is likely less than PAGE_SIZE
bytes, replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_USER like commit 6c2c97a24f09
("memdup_user(): switch to GFP_USER") does and add __GFP_NOWARN like
commit 6c8fcc096be9 ("mm: don't let userspace spam allocations warnings")
does. Also, use dedicated slab buckets like commit d73778e4b867
("mm/util: Use dedicated slab buckets for memdup_user()") does.
