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.

set_rtc_noop(), get_rtc_noop() are after booting, therefore their __init
annotation is wrong.
A crash was observed on an x86 platform where CMOS RTC is unused and
disabled via device tree. set_rtc_noop() was invoked from ntp:
sync_hw_clock(), although CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC=n, however sync_cmos_clock()
doesn't honour that.
Workqueue: events_power_efficient sync_hw_clock
RIP: 0010:set_rtc_noop
Call Trace:

Fix this by dropping the __init annotation from set/get_rtc_noop().

Platform device helper routines won't update the NUMA distance table
while creating a platform device, even if the device is present on a
NUMA node that doesn't have memory or CPU. This is especially true for
pmem devices. If the target node of the pmem device is not online, we
find the nearest online node to the device and associate the pmem device
with that online node. To find the nearest online node, we should have
the numa distance table updated correctly. Update the distance
information during the device probe.
For a papr scm device on NUMA node 3 distance_lookup_table value for
distance_ref_points_depth = 2 before and after fix is below:
Before fix:
node 3 distance depth 0 - 0
node 3 distance depth 1 - 0
node 4 distance depth 0 - 4
node 4 distance depth 1 - 2
node 5 distance depth 0 - 5
node 5 distance depth 1 - 1
After fix
node 3 distance depth 0 - 3
node 3 distance depth 1 - 1
node 4 distance depth 0 - 4
node 4 distance depth 1 - 2
node 5 distance depth 0 - 5
node 5 distance depth 1 - 1
Without the fix, the nearest numa node to the pmem device (NUMA node 3)
will be picked as 4. After the fix, we get the correct numa node which
is 5.

Commit 05e96e96a315 ("kbuild: use git-archive for source package
creation") split the compression as a separate step to factor out
the common build rules.
With the previous commit, we got back to the situation where source
tarballs are compressed on-the-fly.
There is no reason to keep the separate compression rules.
Generate the comressed tar packages directly.

The hypervisor supports user-mode NX from Power10.
pseries_vas_dlpar_cpu() is called from lparcfg_write() to update VAS
windows for DLPAR event in shared processor mode and the kernel gets
-ENOTSUPP for HCALLs if the user-mode NX is not supported. The current
VAS implementation also supports only with Radix page tables. Whereas in
dedicated processor mode, pseries_vas_notifier() is registered only if
the copy/paste feature is enabled. So instead of displaying HCALL error
messages, update VAS capabilities if the copy/paste feature is
available.
This patch ignores updating VAS capabilities in pseries_vas_dlpar_cpu()
and returns success if the copy/paste feature is not enabled. Then
lparcfg_write() completes the processor DLPAR operations without any
failures.

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:

- Fix a confusion about how to check the version of the ACPI spec which
supports a "online capable" bit in the MADT table which lead to a

The same task check in perf_event_set_output has some potential issues
for some usages.
For the current perf code, there is a problem if using of
perf_event_open() to have multiple samples getting into the same mmap’d
memory when they are both attached to the same process.
https://lore.kernel.org/all/92645262-D319-4068-9C44-2409EF44888E@gmail.com/
Because the event->ctx is not ready when the perf_event_set_output() is
invoked in the perf_event_open().
Besides the above issue, before the commit bd2756811766 ("perf: Rewrite
core context handling"), perf record can errors out when sampling with
a hardware event and a software event as below.
$ perf record -e cycles,dummy --per-thread ls
failed to mmap with 22 (Invalid argument)
That's because that prior to the commit a hardware event and a software
event are from different task context.
The problem should be a long time issue since commit c3f00c70276d
("perk: Separate find_get_context() from event initialization").
The task struct is stored in the event->hw.target for each per-thread
event. It is a more reliable way to determine whether two events are
attached to the same task.
The event->hw.target was also introduced several years ago by the
commit 50f16a8bf9d7 ("perf: Remove type specific target pointers"). It
can not only be used to fix the issue with the current code, but also
back port to fix the issues with an older kernel.
Note: The event->hw.target was introduced later than commit
c3f00c70276d. The patch may cannot be applied between the commit
c3f00c70276d and commit 50f16a8bf9d7. Anybody that wants to back-port
this at that period may have to find other solutions.
