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 perf fix from Borislav Petkov:
- Avoid iterating over newly created group leader event's siblings
because there are none, and thus prevent a lockdep splat
* tag 'perf_urgent_for_v6.7_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
perf: Fix perf_event_validate_size() lockdep splat
Pull btrfs fix from David Sterba:
"One more fix that verifies that the snapshot source is a root, same
check is also done in user space but should be done by the ioctl as
well"
* tag 'for-6.7-rc5-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux:
btrfs: do not allow non subvolume root targets for snapshot
When lockdep is enabled, the for_each_sibling_event(sibling, event)
macro checks that event->ctx->mutex is held. When creating a new group
leader event, we call perf_event_validate_size() on a partially
initialized event where event->ctx is NULL, and so when
for_each_sibling_event() attempts to check event->ctx->mutex, we get a
splat, as reported by Lucas De Marchi:
WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 1471 at kernel/events/core.c:1950 __do_sys_perf_event_open+0xf37/0x1080
This only happens for a new event which is its own group_leader, and in
this case there cannot be any sibling events. Thus it's safe to skip the
check for siblings, which avoids having to make invasive and ugly
changes to for_each_sibling_event().
Avoid the splat by bailing out early when the new event is its own
group_leader.

Our btrfs subvolume snapshot <source> <destination> utility enforces
that <source> is the root of the subvolume, however this isn't enforced
in the kernel. Update the kernel to also enforce this limitation to
avoid problems with other users of this ioctl that don't have the
appropriate checks in place.

phy: ti: gmii-sel: Fix register offset when parent is not a syscon node
Start from ACE1.x, DOAISE is added to AC timing control
register bit 5, it combines with DOAIS to get effective
timing, and has the default value 1.
The current code fills DOAIS, DACTQE and DODS bits to a
variable initialized to zero, and updates the variable
to AC timing control register. With this operation, We
change DOAISE to 0, and force a much more aggressive
timing. The timing is even unable to form a working
waveform on SDA pin.
This patch uses read-modify-write operation for the AC
timing control register access, thus makes sure those
bits not supposed and intended to change are not touched.

A reservation goes through a 3 step lifetime:
- generated during delalloc
- released/counted by ordered_extent allocation
- freed by running delayed ref
That third step depends on must_insert_reserved on the head ref, so the
head ref with that field set owns the reservation. Once you prepare to
run the head ref, must_insert_reserved is unset, which means that
running the ref must free the reservation, whether or not it succeeds,
or else the reservation is leaked. That results in either a risk of
spurious ENOSPC if the fs stays writeable or a warning on unmount if it
is readonly.
The existing squota code was aware of these invariants, but missed a few
cases. Improve it by adding a helper function to use in the cleanup
paths and call it from the existing early returns in running delayed
refs. This also simplifies btrfs_record_squota_delta and struct
btrfs_quota_delta.
This fixes (or at least improves the reliability of) generic/475 with
"mkfs -O squota". On my machine, that test failed ~4/10 times without
this patch and passed 100/100 times with it.

If bus is marked as multi_link, but number of masters in the stream is
not higher than bus->hw_sync_min_links (bus->multi_link && m_rt_count >=
bus->hw_sync_min_links), bank switching should not happen. The first
part of do_bank_switch() code properly takes these conditions into
account, but second part (sdw_ml_sync_bank_switch()) relies purely on
bus->multi_link property. This is not balanced and leads to NULL
pointer dereference:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000

The EXTENT_QGROUP_RESERVED bit is used to "lock" regions of the file for
duplicate reservations. That is two writes to that range in one
transaction shouldn't create two reservations, as the reservation will
only be freed once when the write finally goes down. Therefore, it is
never OK to clear that bit without freeing the associated qgroup
reserve. At this point, we don't want to be freeing the reserve, so mask
off the bit.
