Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"A fair amount of stuff this time around, dominated by yet another
massive set from Mauro toward the completion of the RST conversion. I
*really* hope we are getting close to the end of this. Meanwhile,
those patches reach pretty far afield to update document references
around the tree; there should be no actual code changes there. There
will be, alas, more of the usual trivial merge conflicts.
Beyond that we have more translations, improvements to the sphinx
scripting, a number of additions to the sysctl documentation, and lots
of fixes"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"A sizeable pile of arm64 updates for 5.8.
Summary below, but the big two features are support for Branch Target
Identification and Clang's Shadow Call stack. The latter is currently
arm64-only, but the high-level parts are all in core code so it could
easily be adopted by other architectures pending toolchain support
Branch Target Identification (BTI):
- Support for ARMv8.5-BTI in both user- and kernel-space. This allows
branch targets to limit the types of branch from which they can be
called and additionally prevents branching to arbitrary code,
although kernel support requires a very recent toolchain.
- Function annotation via SYM_FUNC_START() so that assembly functions
are wrapped with the relevant "landing pad" instructions.
- BPF and vDSO updates to use the new instructions.
- Addition of a new HWCAP and exposure of BTI capability to userspace
via ID register emulation, along with ELF loader support for the
BTI feature in .note.gnu.property.
- Non-critical fixes to CFI unwind annotations in the sigreturn
trampoline.
Shadow Call Stack (SCS):
- Support for Clang's Shadow Call Stack feature, which reserves
platform register x18 to point at a separate stack for each task
that holds only return addresses. This protects function return
control flow from buffer overruns on the main stack.
- Save/restore of x18 across problematic boundaries (user-mode,
hypervisor, EFI, suspend, etc).
- Core support for SCS, should other architectures want to use it
too.
- SCS overflow checking on context-switch as part of the existing
stack limit check if CONFIG_SCHED_STACK_END_CHECK=y.
CPU feature detection:
- Removed numerous "SANITY CHECK" errors when running on a system
with mismatched AArch32 support at EL1. This is primarily a concern
for KVM, which disabled support for 32-bit guests on such a system.
- Addition of new ID registers and fields as the architecture has
been extended.
Perf and PMU drivers:
- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers.
Hardware errata:
- Unify KVM workarounds for VHE and nVHE configurations.
- Sort vendor errata entries in Kconfig.
Secure Monitor Call Calling Convention (SMCCC):
- Update to the latest specification from Arm (v1.2).
- Allow PSCI code to query the SMCCC version.
Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI):
- Unexport a bunch of unused symbols.
- Minor fixes to handling of firmware data.
Pointer authentication:
- Add support for dumping the kernel PAC mask in vmcoreinfo so that
the stack can be unwound by tools such as kdump.
- Simplification of key initialisation during CPU bringup.
BPF backend:
- Improve immediate generation for logical and add/sub instructions.
vDSO:
- Minor fixes to the linker flags for consistency with other
architectures and support for LLVM's unwinder.
- Clean up logic to initialise and map the vDSO into userspace.
ACPI:
- Work around for an ambiguity in the IORT specification relating to
the "num_ids" field.
- Support _DMA method for all named components rather than only PCIe
root complexes.
- Minor other IORT-related fixes.
Miscellaneous:
- Initialise debug traps early for KGDB and fix KDB cacheflushing
deadlock.
- Minor tweaks to early boot state (documentation update, set
TEXT_OFFSET to 0x0, increase alignment of PE/COFF sections).
- Refactoring and cleanup"

Pull perf updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Kernel side changes:
- Add AMD Fam17h RAPL support
- Introduce CAP_PERFMON to kernel and user space
- Add Zhaoxin CPU support
- Misc fixes and cleanups
Tooling changes:
- perf record:
Introduce '--switch-output-event' to use arbitrary events to be
setup and read from a side band thread and, when they take place a
signal be sent to the main 'perf record' thread, reusing the core
for '--switch-output' to take perf.data snapshots from the ring
buffer used for '--overwrite', e.g.:
# perf record --overwrite -e sched:* \
--switch-output-event syscalls:*connect* \
workload
will take perf.data.YYYYMMDDHHMMSS snapshots up to around the
connect syscalls.
Add '--num-synthesize-threads' option to control degree of
parallelism of the synthesize_mmap() code which is scanning
/proc/PID/task/PID/maps and can be time consuming. This mimics
pre-existing behaviour in 'perf top'.
- perf bench:
Add a multi-threaded synthesize benchmark and kallsyms parsing
benchmark.
- Intel PT support:
Stitch LBR records from multiple samples to get deeper backtraces,
there are caveats, see the csets for details.
Allow using Intel PT to synthesize callchains for regular events.
Add support for synthesizing branch stacks for regular events
(cycles, instructions, etc) from Intel PT data.
Misc changes:
- Updated perf vendor events for power9 and Coresight.
- Add flamegraph.py script via 'perf flamegraph'
- Misc other changes, fixes and cleanups - see the Git log for details
Also, since over the last couple of years perf tooling has matured and
decoupled from the kernel perf changes to a large degree, going
forward Arnaldo is going to send perf tooling changes via direct pull
requests"

Pull locking updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change to core locking facilities in this cycle is the
introduction of local_lock_t - this primitive comes from the -rt
project and identifies CPU-local locking dependencies normally handled
opaquely beind preempt_disable() or local_irq_save/disable() critical
sections.
The generated code on mainline kernels doesn't change as a result, but
still there are benefits: improved debugging and better documentation
of data structure accesses.
The new local_lock_t primitives are introduced and then utilized in a
couple of kernel subsystems. No change in functionality is intended.
There's also other smaller changes and cleanups"

Recently, I switched over from swap-file to zramswap.
When reading the Documentation/vm/zswap.rst file I fell over this typo.
The parameter is called accept_threshold_percent not accept_threhsold_percent
in /sys/module/zswap/parameters/ directory.

This introduces mtdpstore, which is similar to mtdoops but more
powerful. It uses pstore/blk, and aims to store panic and oops logs to
a flash partition, where pstore can later read back and present as files
in the mounted pstore filesystem.
To make mtdpstore work, the "blkdev" of pstore/blk should be set
as MTD device name or MTD device number. For more details, see
Documentation/admin-guide/pstore-blk.rst
This solves a number of issues:
- Work duplication: both of pstore and mtdoops do the same job storing
panic/oops log. They have very similar logic, registering to kmsg
dumper and storing logs to several chunks one by one.
- Layer violations: drivers should provides methods instead of polices.
MTD should provide read/write/erase operations, and allow a higher
level drivers to provide the chunk management, kmsg dump
configuration, etc.
- Missing features: pstore provides many additional features, including
presenting the logs as files, logging dump time and count, and
supporting other frontends like pmsg, console, etc.

Add support for non-block devices (e.g. MTD). A non-block driver calls
pstore_blk_register_device() to register iself.
In addition, pstore/zone is updated to handle non-block devices,
where an erase must be done before a write. Without this, there is no
way to remove records stored to an MTD.

Yes, staying withing 80 columns is certainly still _preferred_. But
it's not the hard limit that the checkpatch warnings imply, and other
concerns can most certainly dominate.
Increase the default limit to 100 characters. Not because 100
characters is some hard limit either, but that's certainly a "what are
you doing" kind of value and less likely to be about the occasional
slightly longer lines.
Miscellanea:
- to avoid unnecessary whitespace changes in files, checkpatch will no
longer emit a warning about line length when scanning files unless
--strict is also used
- Add a bit to coding-style about alignment to open parenthesis

Now that pstore_register() can correctly pass max_reason to the kmesg
dump facility, introduce a new "max_reason" module parameter and
"max-reason" Device Tree field.
The "dump_oops" module parameter and "dump-oops" Device
Tree field are now considered deprecated, but are now automatically
converted to their corresponding max_reason values when present, though
the new max_reason setting has precedence.
For struct ramoops_platform_data, the "dump_oops" member is entirely
replaced by a new "max_reason" member, with the only existing user
updated in place.
Additionally remove the "reason" filter logic from ramoops_pstore_write(),
as that is not specifically needed anymore, though technically
this is a change in behavior for any ramoops users also setting the
printk.always_kmsg_dump boot param, which will cause ramoops to behave as
if max_reason was set to KMSG_DUMP_MAX.

that the corresponding dts node is supposed to be compatible either
with generic DW APB SSI controller or with Microsemi/Amazon/Renesas/Intel
vendors-specific controllers, to have registers, interrupts and clocks
properties. Though in case of Microsemi version of the controller
there must be two registers resources specified. Properties like

Baikal-T1 SoC provides an embedded process, voltage and temperature
sensor to monitor an internal SoC environment (chip temperature, supply
voltage and process monitor) and on time detect critical situations,
which may cause the system instability and even damages. The IP-block
is based on the Analog Bits PVT sensor, but is equipped with a
dedicated control wrapper, which provides a MMIO registers-based access
to the sensor core functionality (APB3-bus based) and exposes an
additional functions like thresholds/data ready interrupts, its status
and masks, measurements timeout. All of these is used to create a hwmon
driver being added to the kernel by this commit.
The driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities
of Baikal-T1 process, voltage and temperature sensors. PVT IP-core
consists of one temperature and four voltage sensors, each of which is
implemented as a dedicated hwmon channel config.
The driver can optionally provide the hwmon alarms for each sensor the
PVT controller supports. The alarms functionality is made compile-time
configurable due to the hardware interface implementation peculiarity,
which is connected with an ability to convert data from only one sensor
at a time. Additional limitation is that the controller performs the
thresholds checking synchronously with the data conversion procedure.
Due to these limitations in order to have the hwmon alarms
automatically detected the driver code must switch from one sensor to
another, read converted data and manually check the threshold status
bits. Depending on the measurements timeout settings this design may
cause additional burden on the system performance. By default if the
alarms kernel config is disabled the data conversion is performed by
the driver on demand when read operation is requested via corresponding
_input-file.

preempt_disable() and local_irq_disable/save() are in principle per CPU big
kernel locks. This has several downsides:
- The protection scope is unknown
- Violation of protection rules is hard to detect by instrumentation
- For PREEMPT_RT such sections, unless in low level critical code, can
violate the preemptability constraints.
To address this PREEMPT_RT introduced the concept of local_locks which are
strictly per CPU.
The lock operations map to preempt_disable(), local_irq_disable/save() and
the enabling counterparts on non RT enabled kernels.
If lockdep is enabled local locks gain a lock map which tracks the usage
context. This will catch cases where an area is protected by
preempt_disable() but the access also happens from interrupt context. local
locks have identified quite a few such issues over the years, the most
recent example is:
b7d5dc21072cd ("random: add a spinlock_t to struct batched_entropy")
Aside of the lockdep coverage this also improves code readability as it
precisely annotates the protection scope.
PREEMPT_RT substitutes these local locks with 'sleeping' spinlocks to
protect such sections while maintaining preemtability and CPU locality.
local locks can replace:
- preempt_enable()/disable() pairs
- local_irq_disable/enable() pairs
- local_irq_save/restore() pairs
They are also used to replace code which implicitly disables preemption
like:
- get_cpu()/put_cpu()
- get_cpu_var()/put_cpu_var()
with PREEMPT_RT friendly constructs.
