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 x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
- Fix a secondary CPUs enumeration regression caused by creative MADT
APIC table entries on certain systems.
- Fix a race in the NOP-patcher that can spuriously trigger crashes on
bootup.
- Fix a bootup failure regression caused by the parallel bringup code,
caused by firmware inconsistency between the APIC initialization
states of the boot and secondary CPUs, on certain systems.

The recent fix to ignore invalid x2APIC entries inadvertently broke
systems with creative MADT APIC tables. The affected systems have APIC
MADT tables where all entries have invalid APIC IDs (0xFF), which means
they register exactly zero CPUs.
But the condition to ignore the entries of APIC IDs < 255 in the X2APIC
MADT table is solely based on the count of MADT APIC table entries.
As a consequence, the affected machines enumerate no secondary CPUs at
all because the APIC table has entries and therefore the X2APIC table
entries with APIC IDs < 255 are ignored.
Change the condition so that the APIC table preference for APIC IDs <
255 only becomes effective when the APIC table has valid APIC ID
entries.
IOW, an APIC table full of invalid APIC IDs is considered to be empty
which in consequence enables the X2APIC table entries with a APIC ID
< 255 and restores the expected behaviour.

apply_alternatives() treats alternatives with the ALT_FLAG_NOT flag set
special as it optimizes the existing NOPs in place.
Unfortunately, this happens with interrupts enabled and does not provide any
form of core synchronization.
So an interrupt hitting in the middle of the update and using the affected code
path will observe a half updated NOP and crash and burn. The following
3 NOP sequence was observed to expose this crash halfway reliably under QEMU
32bit:
0x90 0x90 0x90
which is replaced by the optimized 3 byte NOP:
0x8d 0x76 0x00
So an interrupt can observe:
1) 0x90 0x90 0x90 nop nop nop
2) 0x8d 0x90 0x90 undefined
3) 0x8d 0x76 0x90 lea -0x70(%esi),%esi
4) 0x8d 0x76 0x00 lea 0x0(%esi),%esi
Where only #1 and #4 are true NOPs. The same problem exists for 64bit obviously.
Disable interrupts around this NOP optimization and invoke sync_core()
before re-enabling them.

In commit 031312dbc695 ("scsi: ufs: ufs-qcom: Remove unnecessary goto

error of ufs_qcom_clk_scale_*() calls not being returned.
This is the case I checked:
ufs_qcom_clk_scale_notify ->

Make sure those errors are properly returned.

text_poke_early() does:
local_irq_save(flags);
memcpy(addr, opcode, len);
local_irq_restore(flags);
sync_core();
That's not really correct because the synchronization should happen before
interrupts are re-enabled to ensure that a pending interrupt observes the
complete update of the opcodes.
It's not entirely clear whether the interrupt entry provides enough
serialization already, but moving the sync_core() invocation into interrupt
disabled region does no harm and is obviously correct.

Tetsuo Handa pointed out that in the (now reverted)
lockdep commit I initialized the data too late. The
same is true for the cancellation data, it must be
initialized before the cmpxchg(), otherwise it may
be done twice and possibly even overwriting data in
there already when there's a race. Fix that, which
also requires destroying the mutex in case we lost
the race.

Here "temp" is the number of characters that we have written and "size"
is the size of the buffer. The intent was clearly to say that if we have
written to the end of the buffer then stop.
However, for that to work the comparison should have been done on the
original "size" value instead of the "size -= temp" value. Not only
will that not trigger when we want to, but there is a small chance that
it will trigger incorrectly before we want it to and we break from the
loop slightly earlier than intended.
This code was recently changed from using snprintf() to scnprintf(). With
snprintf() we likely would have continued looping and passed a negative
size parameter to snprintf(). This would have triggered an annoying
WARN(). Now that we have converted to scnprintf() "size" will never
drop below 1 and there is no real need for this test. We could change
the condition to "if (temp <= 1) goto done;" but just deleting the test
is cleanest.

In commit 8930a6c20791 ("scsi: core: add support for request batching") the
block layer bd->last flag was mapped to SCMD_LAST and used as an indicator
to send the batch for the drivers that implement this feature. However, the
error handling code was not updated accordingly.
scsi_send_eh_cmnd() is used to send error handling commands and request
sense. The problem is that request sense comes as a single command that
gets into the batch queue and times out. As a result the device goes
offline after several failed resets. This was observed on virtio_scsi
during a device resize operation.

To fix this always set SCMD_LAST flag in scsi_send_eh_cmnd() and
