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.

Commits ffb1b4a41016 ("x86/unwind/orc: Add 'signal' field to ORC
metadata") and fb799447ae29 ("x86,objtool: Split UNWIND_HINT_EMPTY in
two") changed the ORC format. Although ORC is internal to the kernel,
it's the only way for external tools to get reliable kernel stack traces
on x86-64. In particular, the drgn debugger [1] uses ORC for stack
unwinding, and these format changes broke it [2]. As the drgn
maintainer, I don't care how often or how much the kernel changes the
ORC format as long as I have a way to detect the change.
It suffices to store a version identifier in the vmlinux and kernel
module ELF files (to use when parsing ORC sections from ELF), and in
kernel memory (to use when parsing ORC from a core dump+symbol table).
Rather than hard-coding a version number that needs to be manually
bumped, Peterz suggested hashing the definitions from orc_types.h. If
there is a format change that isn't caught by this, the hashing script
can be updated.
This patch adds an .orc_header allocated ELF section containing the
20-byte hash to vmlinux and kernel modules, along with the corresponding
__start_orc_header and __stop_orc_header symbols in vmlinux.

Reiji reports that the arm64 implementation of arch_perf_update_userpage()
is now ignored and replaced by the dummy stub in core code.
This seems to happen since the PMUv3 driver was moved to driver/perf.
As it turns out, dropping the __weak attribute from the *prototype*
of the function solves the problem. You're right, this doesn't seem
to make much sense. And yet... It appears that both symbols get
flagged as weak, and that the first one to appear in the link order
wins:
$ nm drivers/perf/arm_pmuv3.o|grep arch_perf_update_userpage
0000000000001db0 W arch_perf_update_userpage
Dropping the attribute from the prototype restores the expected
behaviour, and arm64 is able to enjoy arch_perf_update_userpage()
again.

When booting with "intremap=off" and "x2apic_phys" on the kernel command
line, the physical x2APIC driver ends up being used even when x2APIC
mode is disabled ("intremap=off" disables x2APIC mode). This happens
because the first compound condition check in x2apic_phys_probe() is
false due to x2apic_mode == 0 and so the following one returns true
after default_acpi_madt_oem_check() having already selected the physical
x2APIC driver.
This results in the following panic:
