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 Restructured Text 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 scheduler fix from Borislav Petkov:

sched/fair: Sanitize vruntime of entity being migrated
When in dual role mode (dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_OTG), platform probe
successively basically calls:
- dwc2_gadget_init()
- dwc2_hcd_init()
- dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable() since recent change [1]
- usb_add_gadget_udc()
The PHYs (and so the clocks it may provide) shouldn't be disabled for all
SoCs, in OTG mode, as the HCD part has been initialized.
On STM32 this creates some weird race condition upon boot, when:
- initially attached as a device, to a HOST
- and there is a gadget script invoked to setup the device part.
Below issue becomes systematic, as long as the gadget script isn't
started by userland: the hardware PHYs (and so the clocks provided by the
PHYs) remains disabled.
It ends up in having an endless interrupt storm, before the watchdog
resets the platform.

[ 17.189303] dwc2 49000000.usb-otg: Mode Mismatch Interrupt: currently in Host mode
...
The host part is also not functional, until the gadget part is configured.
The HW may only be disabled for peripheral mode (original init), e.g.
dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL, until the gadget driver initializes.
But when in USB_DR_MODE_OTG, the HW should remain enabled, as the HCD part
is able to run, while the gadget part isn't necessarily configured.
I don't fully get the of purpose the original change, that claims disabling
the hardware is missing. It creates conditions on SOCs using the PHY
initialization to be completely non working in OTG mode. Original
change [1] should be reworked to be platform specific.

Commit 829c1651e9c4 ("sched/fair: sanitize vruntime of entity being placed")
fixes an overflowing bug, but ignore a case that se->exec_start is reset
after a migration.
For fixing this case, we delay the reset of se->exec_start after
placing the entity which se->exec_start to detect long sleeping task.
In order to take into account a possible divergence between the clock_task
of 2 rqs, we increase the threshold to around 104 days.

Each time the platform goes to low power, PM suspend / resume routines
call: __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable -> devm_add_action_or_reset().
This adds a new devres each time.
This may also happen at runtime, as dwc2_lowlevel_hw_enable() can be
called from udc_start().
This can be seen with tracing:
- echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/dev/devres_log/enable
- go to low power
- cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
A new "ADD" entry is found upon each low power cycle:
... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 82a13bba devm_action_release (8 bytes)
... devres_log: 49000000.usb-otg ADD 49889daf devm_action_release (8 bytes)
...
A second issue is addressed here:
- regulator_bulk_enable() is called upon each PM cycle (suspend/resume).
- regulator_bulk_disable() never gets called.
So the reference count for these regulators constantly increase, by one
upon each low power cycle, due to missing regulator_bulk_disable() call
in __dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().
The original fix that introduced the devm_add_action_or_reset() call,
fixed an issue during probe, that happens due to other errors in
dwc2_driver_probe() -> dwc2_core_reset(). Then the probe fails without
disabling regulators, when dr_mode == USB_DR_MODE_PERIPHERAL.
Rather fix the error path: disable all the low level hardware in the
error path, by using the "hsotg->ll_hw_enabled" flag. Checking dr_mode
has been introduced to avoid a dual call to dwc2_lowlevel_hw_disable().
"ll_hw_enabled" should achieve the same (and is used currently in the
remove() routine).

Pull core fixes from Borislav Petkov:
- Do the delayed RCU wakeup for kthreads in the proper order so that
former doesn't get ignored
- A noinstr warning fix
* tag 'core_urgent_for_v6.3_rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
entry/rcu: Check TIF_RESCHED _after_ delayed RCU wake-up
entry: Fix noinstr warning in __enter_from_user_mode()
The variable 'status' (which contains the unhandled overflow bits) is
not being properly masked in some cases, displaying the following
warning:
WARNING: CPU: 156 PID: 475601 at arch/x86/events/amd/core.c:972 amd_pmu_v2_handle_irq+0x216/0x270
This seems to be happening because the loop is being continued before
the status bit being unset, in case x86_perf_event_set_period()
returns 0. This is also causing an inconsistency because the "handled"
counter is incremented, but the status bit is not cleaned.
Move the bit cleaning together above, together when the "handled"
counter is incremented.

The user may call role_store() when driver is handling
ci_handle_id_switch() which is triggerred by otg event or power lost
event. Unfortunately, the controller may go into chaos in this case.

RCU sometimes needs to perform a delayed wake up for specific kthreads
handling offloaded callbacks (RCU_NOCB). These wakeups are performed
by timers and upon entry to idle (also to guest and to user on nohz_full).
However the delayed wake-up on kernel exit is actually performed after
the thread flags are fetched towards the fast path check for work to
do on exit to user. As a result, and if there is no other pending work
to do upon that kernel exit, the current task will resume to userspace
with TIF_RESCHED set and the pending wake up ignored.
Fix this with fetching the thread flags _after_ the delayed RCU-nocb
kthread wake-up.

Pull tracing fixes from Steven Rostedt:
- Fix setting affinity of hwlat threads in containers
Using sched_set_affinity() has unwanted side effects when being
called within a container. Use set_cpus_allowed_ptr() instead
- Fix per cpu thread management of the hwlat tracer:
- Do not start per_cpu threads if one is already running for the CPU
- When starting per_cpu threads, do not clear the kthread variable
as it may already be set to running per cpu threads
- Fix return value for test_gen_kprobe_cmd()
On error the return value was overwritten by being set to the result
of the call from kprobe_event_delete(), which would likely succeed,
and thus have the function return success
- Fix splice() reads from the trace file that was broken by commit
36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without explicit
ops")
- Remove obsolete and confusing comment in ring_buffer.c

tricks to optimize, which was shortly removed due to them being
tricks. But a comment for those tricks remained
