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.

When the uvcvideo driver encounters a format descriptor with an unknown
format GUID, it creates a corresponding struct uvc_format instance with
the fcc field set to 0. Since commit 50459f103edf ("media: uvcvideo:
Remove format descriptions"), the driver relies on the V4L2 core to
provide the format description string, which the V4L2 core can't do
without a valid 4CC. This triggers a WARN_ON.
As a format with a zero 4CC can't be selected, it is unusable for
applications. Ignore the format completely without creating a uvc_format
instance, which fixes the warning.

When checking for OF quirks, make sure either 'compatible' or 'property'
is set, and give up otherwise.
This avoids non-OF quirks being randomly applied as they don't have any
of the OF data that need checking.

Note that the size 1024 corresponds to the size of the test firmware
buffer. The actual number of the buffers leaked is around 70-110,
depending on the test run.
The cause of the leak is the following:
request_partial_firmware_into_buf() and request_firmware_into_buf()
provided firmware buffer isn't released on release_firmware(), we
have allocated it and we are responsible for deallocating it manually.
This is introduced in a number of context where previously only
release_firmware() was called, which was insufficient.

Until commit 5c2712387d48 ("cacheinfo: Fix LLC is not exported through
sysfs"), cacheinfo called populate_cache_leaves() for CPU coming online
which let the arch specific functions handle (at least on x86)
populating the shared_cpu_map. However, with the changes in the
aforementioned commit, populate_cache_leaves() is not called when a CPU
comes online as a result of hotplug since last_level_cache_is_valid()
returns true as the cacheinfo data is not discarded. The CPU coming
online is not present in shared_cpu_map, however, it will not be added
since the cpu_cacheinfo->cpu_map_populated flag is set (it is set in
populate_cache_leaves() when cacheinfo is first populated for x86)
This can lead to inconsistencies in the shared_cpu_map when an offlined
CPU comes online again. Example below depicts the inconsistency in the
shared_cpu_list in cacheinfo when CPU8 is offlined and onlined again on
a 3rd Generation EPYC processor:
# for i in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu8/cache/index*/shared_cpu_list; do echo -n "$i: "; cat $i; done
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu8/cache/index0/shared_cpu_list: 8,136

# echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu8/online

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu136/cache/index0/shared_cpu_list
136
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu136/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
9-15,136-143
Clear the flag when the CPU is removed from shared_cpu_map when
cache_shared_cpu_map_remove() is called during CPU hotplug. This will
allow cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() to add the CPU coming back online in
the shared_cpu_map. Set the flag again when the shared_cpu_map is setup.

the changes:

Dan Carpenter spotted that test_fw_config->reqs will be leaked if
trigger_batched_requests_store() is called two or more times.
The same appears with trigger_batched_requests_async_store().
This bug wasn't trigger by the tests, but observed by Dan's visual
inspection of the code.
The recommended workaround was to return -EBUSY if test_fw_config->reqs
is already allocated.
