x86/mce: Remove the tolerance level control

2022-02-23T10:09:25Z

This is pretty much unused and not really useful. What is more, all relevant MCA hardware has recoverable machine checks support so there's no real need to tweak MCA tolerance levels in order to *maybe* extend machine lifetime. So rip it out.

That script is still regex onslaught from hell, but it has gotten a little better. - Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the tool itself. - A major update to the pathname lookup documentation. - Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create references from filenames without all the extra noise. - The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.

MAINTAINERS: Move nvdimm mailing list

2021-05-12T19:37:15Z

After seeing some users have subscription management trouble, more spam than other Linux development lists, and considering some of the benefits of kernel.org hosted lists, nvdimm and persistent memory development is moving to nvdimm@lists.linux.dev. The old list will remain up until v5.14-rc1 and shutdown thereafter.

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script on its output result. Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Slightly late as I had to rebase mid-week to insert a bug fix: - A large series from Nick for 64-bit to further rework our exception vectors, and rewrite portions of the syscall entry/exit and interrupt return in C. The result is much easier to follow code that is also faster in general. - Cleanup of our ptrace code to split various parts out that had become badly intertwined with #ifdefs over the years. - Changes to our NUMA setup under the PowerVM hypervisor which should hopefully avoid non-sensical topologies which can lead to warnings from the workqueue code and other problems. - MAINTAINERS updates to remove some of our old orphan entries and update the status of others. - Quite a few other small changes and fixes all over the map.

acpi, nfit: Remove ecc_unit_size

2018-06-03T19:49:15Z

The "Clear Error Unit" may be smaller than the ECC unit size on some devices. For example, poison may be tracked at 64-byte alignment even though the ECC unit is larger. Unless / until the ACPI specification provides a non-ambiguous way to communicate this property do not expose this to userspace. Software that had been using this property must already be prepared for the case where the property is not provided on older kernels, so it is safe to remove this attribute.
