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 .min_sel and .max_sel fields remained uninitialized in the new
linear_range, causing an error further down the line. Copy the old
values of these fields to the new one as they represent the range of
register values, which does not change.

Pull misc x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
- Limit AMD microcode Entrysign sha256 signature checking to
known CPU generations
- Disable AMD RDSEED32 on certain Zen5 CPUs that have a
microcode version before when the microcode-based fix was
issued for the AMD-SB-7055 erratum
- Fix FPU AMD XFD state synchronization on signal delivery
- Fix (work around) a SSE4a-disassembly related build failure
on X86_NATIVE_CPU=y builds
- Extend the AMD Zen6 model space with a new range of models
- Fix <asm/intel-family.h> CPU model comments
- Fix the CONFIG_CFI=y and CONFIG_LTO_CLANG_FULL=y build, which
was unhappy due to missing kCFI type annotations of clear_page()
variants

Per commit 9442490a0286 ("regmap: irq: Support wake IRQ mask inversion")
the wake_invert flag is to support enable register, so cleared bits are
wake disabled.

With full LTO, it is possible for LLVM to realize that these functions never
have their address taken (as they are only used within an alternative, which
will make them a direct call) across the whole kernel and either drop or skip
generating their kCFI type identification symbols.
clear_page_{rep,orig,erms}() are defined in clear_page_64.S with
SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START as a result of
2981557cb040 ("x86,kcfi: Fix EXPORT_SYMBOL vs kCFI"),
as exported functions are free to be called indirectly thus need kCFI type
identifiers.
Use KCFI_REFERENCE with these clear_page() functions to force LLVM to see
these functions as address-taken and generate then keep the kCFI type
identifiers.

The __devm_regmap_init_slimbus() started to be used instead of
__regmap_init_slimbus() after the commit mentioned above and turns out
the incorrect bus_context pointer (3rd argument) was used in
__devm_regmap_init_slimbus(). It should be just "slimbus" (which is equal
to &slimbus->dev). Correct it. The wcd934x codec seems to be the only or
the first user of devm_regmap_init_slimbus() but we should fix it till
the point where __devm_regmap_init_slimbus() was introduced therefore
two "Fixes" tags.
While at this, also correct the same argument in __regmap_init_slimbus().

The early error path in hdm_probe() can jump to err_free_mdev before
&mdev->dev has been initialized with device_initialize(). Calling
put_device(&mdev->dev) there triggers a device core WARN and ends up
invoking kref_put(&kobj->kref, kobject_release) on an uninitialized
kobject.
In this path the private struct was only kmalloc'ed and the intended
release is effectively kfree(mdev) anyway, so free it directly instead
of calling put_device() on an uninitialized device.
This removes the WARNING and fixes the pre-initialization error path.
