Here's a patch updating the meaning of TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC after
Borislav introduced changes in a7e1f67ed29f and upcoming patches in tip.
TAINT_CPU_OUT_OF_SPEC now means a bit more what it implies as the
flag isn't set just because of a CPU misconfiguration or mismatch.
Historically it was for SMP kernel oops on an officially SMP incapable
processor but now it also covers CPUs whose MSRs have been incorrectly
poked at from userspace, drivers being used on non supported
architectures, broken firmware, mismatched CPUs, ...
Update documentation and script to reflect that.

Make various places which point to
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst point to
Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst instead. That document is
brand new and as of now is not completely finished. But even at this
stage it's a lot more helpful and accurate than reporting-bugs.rst.
Hence also add a note to reporting-bugs.rst, telling people they're
better off reading reporting-issues.rst instead.
reporting-bugs.rst is scheduled for removal once reporting-issues.rst
is considered ready.

Add a mostly finished document describing how to report issues with the
Linux kernel to its developers. It is designed to be a lot more straight
forward and easier to follow than the current text about this
(Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-bugs.rst); at the same time the new
text should be more helpful for people unfamiliar with the topic, as it
provides a lot more details, too.
The main work on the text is done, but some polishing is still needed.
The text also needs to be reviewed by more people and a few issues still
might need some discussion. To make these tasks easier, it was decided
([1]) to add this document to the kernel sources in parallel to the
existing text; the latter will be removed once this text is considered
good enough(tm).
This document is quite long and provides a lot of details, but was
carefully crafted to make sure it's can also serve people that are in a
hurry. That's mainly achieved by having a TDLR and a step-by-step guide,
which should be good enough for quite a lot of people. Everybody that
wants or need more explanations can find them in a reference section,
which describes all the needed steps in detail.
Thanks to this structure the text can work for kernel developers that
just need to look something up, experienced FLOSS contributors that are
unfamiliar with the kernel's bug reporting workflow, and users reporting
something upstream for the first time. The text is thus a bit like the
kernel itself, which works well for embedded machines, a typical desktop
PC, cloud servers, and HPC.
The document was written in the hope it will improve the quality of the
bug reports, especially those that come from people unfamiliar with how
Linux kernel development works. Sadly quite a few reports from this
group are currently of poor quality and/or get submitted to the wrong
place. Part of the problem is the old reporting-bugs document, as it
makes its essence hard to grasp; it's and also inaccurate and slightly
outdated in a few spots. Due to this quite a few valid reports are
ignored in the end, which is annoying for those that compiled them and
bad for the kernel's quality.
The document near the top points out that it's still unfinished, but
nevertheless ready for consumption. Those few areas in the text that
might need some further discussion contain a note pointing this out.
Besides lack of review from core developers there is only one major
issue left: the section 'Decode failure message' is known to be
outdated: it's waiting for someone familiar with the topic to write
something up or give at least provide some hints and pointers what to
write there.
The new document is dual-licensed under GPL-2.0+ or CC-BY-4.0. The
latter is way more liberal and makes it attractive to use this text as a
base when writing about this topic on websites or in books. This
hopefully increases the chances that such texts are accurate and stick
to official way of doing things.

This cleans up a few titles with extra colons, and removes the
reference to kernel 2.2. The docs don't yet cover *all* of 5.10 or
5.11, but I think they're close enough. Most entries are documented,
and have been checked against current kernels.

Add a new configuration DM_VERITY_VERIFY_ROOTHASH_SIG_SECONDARY_KEYRING
to enable dm-verity signatures to be verified against the secondary
trusted keyring. Instead of relying on the builtin trusted keyring
(with hard-coded certificates), the second trusted keyring can include
certificate authorities from the builtin trusted keyring and child
certificates loaded at run time. Using the secondary trusted keyring
enables to use dm-verity disks (e.g. loop devices) signed by keys which
did not exist at kernel build time, leveraging the certificate chain of
trust model. In practice, this makes it possible to update certificates
without kernel update and reboot, aligning with module and kernel
(kexec) signature verification which already use the secondary trusted
keyring.

Add an early parameter that allows users to select the mode of operation
for KVM/arm64.
For now, the only supported value is "protected". By passing this flag
users opt into the hypervisor placing additional restrictions on the
host kernel. These allow the hypervisor to spawn guests whose state is
kept private from the host. Restrictions will include stage-2 address
translation to prevent host from accessing guest memory, filtering its
SMC calls, etc.
Without this parameter, the default behaviour remains selecting VHE/nVHE
based on hardware support and CONFIG_ARM64_VHE.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"Fixes for CVE-2020-4788.
From Daniel's cover letter:
IBM Power9 processors can speculatively operate on data in the L1
cache before it has been completely validated, via a way-prediction
mechanism. It is not possible for an attacker to determine the
contents of impermissible memory using this method, since these
systems implement a combination of hardware and software security
measures to prevent scenarios where protected data could be leaked.
However these measures don't address the scenario where an attacker
induces the operating system to speculatively execute instructions
using data that the attacker controls. This can be used for example to
speculatively bypass "kernel user access prevention" techniques, as
discovered by Anthony Steinhauser of Google's Safeside Project. This
is not an attack by itself, but there is a possibility it could be
used in conjunction with side-channels or other weaknesses in the
privileged code to construct an attack.
This issue can be mitigated by flushing the L1 cache between privilege
boundaries of concern.
This patch series flushes the L1 cache on kernel entry (patch 2) and
after the kernel performs any user accesses (patch 3). It also adds a
self-test and performs some related cleanups"

With just a single fix, the contents there can be parsed properly
without the need to escape any ReST incompatible stuff.

That helps to identify what ABI files are adding titles.

Now that the stable ABI files are compatible with ReST,
parse them without converting complex descriptions as literal
blocks nor escaping special characters.
Please notice that escaping special characters will probably
be needed at descriptions, at least for the asterisk character.

As we don't want a generic Sphinx extension to execute commands,
change the one proposed to Markus to call the abi_book.pl
script.
Use a script to parse the Documentation/ABI directory and output
it at the admin-guide.

There are no known users of this driver as of October 2020, and it will
be removed unless someone turns out to still need it in future releases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WiMAX_networks, there
have been many public wimax networks, but it appears that many of these
have migrated to LTE or discontinued their service altogether.
As most PCs and phones lack WiMAX hardware support, the remaining
networks tend to use standalone routers. These almost certainly
run Linux, but not a modern kernel or the mainline wimax driver stack.
NetworkManager appears to have dropped userspace support in 2015
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747846, the
www.linuxwimax.org
site had already shut down earlier.
WiMax is apparently still being deployed on airport campus networks
("AeroMACS"), but in a frequency band that was not supported by the old
Intel 2400m (used in Sandy Bridge laptops and earlier), which is the
only driver using the kernel's wimax stack.
Move all files into drivers/staging/wimax, including the uapi header
files and documentation, to make it easier to remove it when it gets
to that. Only minimal changes are made to the source files, in order
to make it possible to port patches across the move.
Also remove the MAINTAINERS entry that refers to a broken mailing
list and website.

Pull SafeSetID updates from Micah Morton:
"The changes are mostly contained to within the SafeSetID LSM, with the
exception of a few 1-line changes to change some ns_capable() calls to
ns_capable_setid() -- causing a flag (CAP_OPT_INSETID) to be set that
is examined by SafeSetID code and nothing else in the kernel.
The changes to SafeSetID internally allow for setting up GID
transition security policies, as already existed for UIDs"
