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.

Although IBS "swfilt" can prevent leaking samples with kernel RIP to the
userspace, there are few subtle cases where a 'data' address and/or a
'branch target' address can fall under kernel address range although RIP
is from userspace. Prevent leaking kernel 'data' addresses by discarding
such samples when {exclude_kernel=1,swfilt=1}.
IBS can now be invoked by unprivileged user with the introduction of
"swfilt". However, this creates a loophole in the interface where an
unprivileged user can get physical address of the userspace virtual
addresses through IBS register raw dump (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW). Prevent this
as well.
This upstream commit fixed the most obvious leak:
65a99264f5e5 perf/x86: Check data address for IBS software filter
Follow that up with a more complete fix.

irq allocated with devm_request_irq() will be freed in devm_irq_release(),
using free_irq() in ->remove() will causes a dangling pointer, and a
subsequent double free. So remove the free_irq() in the error path and
remove path.

Pull io_uring fix from Jens Axboe:
"Just a single fix for the commit that went into your tree yesterday,
which exposed an issue with not always clearing notifications. That
could cause them to be used more than once"

io_uring/net: fix sendzc double notif flush
Once a key's reference count has been reduced to 0, the garbage collector
thread may destroy it at any time and so key_put() is not allowed to touch
the key after that point. The most key_put() is normally allowed to do is
to touch key_gc_work as that's a static global variable.
However, in an effort to speed up the reclamation of quota, this is now
done in key_put() once the key's usage is reduced to 0 - but now the code
is looking at the key after the deadline, which is forbidden.
Fix this by using a flag to indicate that a key can be gc'd now rather than
looking at the key's refcount in the garbage collector.
Fixes: 9578e327b2b4 ("keys: update key quotas in key_put()")

Before the blamed commit, sendzc relied on io_req_msg_cleanup() to clear
REQ_F_NEED_CLEANUP, so after the following snippet the request will
never hit the core io_uring cleanup path.
io_notif_flush();
io_req_msg_cleanup();
The easiest fix is to null the notification. io_send_zc_cleanup() can
still be called after, but it's tolerated.
