This is a respin with a wider audience (all that get_maintainer returned)
and I know this spams a *lot* of people. Not sure what would be the correct
way, so my apologies for ruining your inbox.
The 00-INDEX files are supposed to give a summary of all files present
in a directory, but these files are horribly out of date and their
usefulness is brought into question. Often a simple "ls" would reveal
the same information as the filenames are generally quite descriptive as
a short introduction to what the file covers (it should not surprise
anyone what Documentation/sched/sched-design-CFS.txt covers)
A few years back it was mentioned that these files were no longer really
needed, and they have since then grown further out of date, so perhaps
it is time to just throw them out.
A short status yields the following _outdated_ 00-INDEX files, first
counter is files listed in 00-INDEX but missing in the directory, last
is files present but not listed in 00-INDEX.
List of outdated 00-INDEX:
Documentation: (4/10)
Documentation/sysctl: (0/1)
Documentation/timers: (1/0)
Documentation/blockdev: (3/1)
Documentation/w1/slaves: (0/1)
Documentation/locking: (0/1)
Documentation/devicetree: (0/5)
Documentation/power: (1/1)
Documentation/powerpc: (0/5)
Documentation/arm: (1/0)
Documentation/x86: (0/9)
Documentation/x86/x86_64: (1/1)
Documentation/scsi: (4/4)
Documentation/filesystems: (2/9)
Documentation/filesystems/nfs: (0/2)
Documentation/cgroup-v1: (0/2)
Documentation/kbuild: (0/4)
Documentation/spi: (1/0)
Documentation/virtual/kvm: (1/0)
Documentation/scheduler: (0/2)
Documentation/fb: (0/1)
Documentation/block: (0/1)
Documentation/networking: (6/37)
Documentation/vm: (1/3)
Then there are 364 subdirectories in Documentation/ with several files that
are missing 00-INDEX alltogether (and another 120 with a single file and no
00-INDEX).
I don't really have an opinion to whether or not we /should/ have 00-INDEX,
but the above 00-INDEX should either be removed or be kept up to date. If
we should keep the files, I can try to keep them updated, but I rather not
if we just want to delete them anyway.
As a starting point, remove all index-files and references to 00-INDEX and
see where the discussion is going.

The dtb= parameter is no longer the primary mechanism for providing a
devicetree to the kernel. Now either firmware or the boot selector (ex.
Grub) should provide the devicetree and dtb= should only be used for
debug or when using firmware that doesn't understand DT.
Update the EFI stub documentation to reflect the current usage.

The documentation and TOCs are organized in a manner of a tree. Adding a TOC to
the root, which refers to a file which is located in a subfolder forms a
grid. Those TOCs are a bit confusing and thats why we get additional error
messages while building partial documentation::
$ make SPHINXDIRS=process htmldocs
...
checking consistency... Documentation/process/license-rules.rst: \
WARNING: document isn't included in any toctree
To fix it, the *root-license-TOC* is replaced by a reference and the
'license-roles.txt' is added to the Documentation/process/index.rst TOC.
BTW: there was an old licences remark in Documentation/process/howto.rst which
is also updated, mentioning SPDX and pointing to the license-rules.rst

The idle-states binding documentation[1] mentions that the
'entry-method' property is required on 64-bit platforms and must be
set to "psci".
commit a13f18f59d26 ("Documentation: arm: Fix typo in the idle-states
bindings examples") attempted to fix this earlier but clearly more is
needed.
Fix the cpu-capacity.txt documentation that uses the incorrect value so
we don't get copy-paste errors like these. Clarify the language in
idle-states.txt by removing the reference to the psci bindings that
might be causing this confusion.
Finally, fix devicetrees of various boards to reflect current
documentation.

Almost all files in the kernel are either plain text or UTF-8 encoded. A
couple however are ISO_8859-1, usually just a few characters in a C
comments, for historic reasons.
This converts them all to UTF-8 for consistency.

Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world
writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the
directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose
is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned
on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like
the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's
"HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer.
This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented
by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation:
CVE-2000-1134
CVE-2007-3852
CVE-2008-0525
CVE-2009-0416
CVE-2011-4834
CVE-2015-1838
CVE-2015-7442
CVE-2016-7489
This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all
vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any
mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before
hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite
vehicle to exploit them.

Pull fbdev updates from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz:
"Mostly small fixes and cleanups for fb drivers (the biggest updates
are for udlfb and pxafb drivers). This also adds deferred console
takeover support to the console code and efifb driver.
Summary:
- add support for deferred console takeover, when enabled defers
fbcon taking over the console from the dummy console until the
first text is displayed on the console - together with the "quiet"
kernel commandline option this allows fbcon to still be used
together with a smooth graphical bootup (Hans de Goede)
- improve console locking debugging code (Thomas Zimmermann)
- copy the ACPI BGRT boot graphics to the framebuffer when deferred
console takeover support is used in efifb driver (Hans de Goede)
- update udlfb driver - fix lost console when the user unplugs a USB
adapter, fix the screen corruption issue, fix locking and add some
performance optimizations (Mikulas Patocka)
- update pxafb driver - fix using uninitialized memory, switch to
devm_* API, handle initialization errors and add support for
lcd-supply regulator (Daniel Mack)
- add support for boards booted with a DeviceTree in pxa3xx_gcu
driver (Daniel Mack)
- rename omap2 module to omap2fb.ko to avoid conflicts with omap1
driver (Arnd Bergmann)
- enable ACPI-based enumeration for goldfishfb driver (Yu Ning)
- fix goldfishfb driver to make user space Android code use 60 fps
(Christoffer Dall)
- print big fat warning when nomodeset kernel parameter is used in
vgacon driver (Lyude Paul)
- remove VLA usage from fsl-diu-fb driver (Kees Cook)
- misc fixes (Julia Lawall, Geert Uytterhoeven, Fredrik Noring,

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko:
- The driver for Silead touchscreen configurations has been renamed
from silead_dmi to touchscreen_dmi since it starts supporting other
touchscreens which require some DMI quirks
It also gets expanded to cover cases for Chuwi Vi10, ONDA V891W,
Connect Tablet 9, Onda V820w, and Cube KNote i1101 tablets.
- Another bunch of changes is related to Mellanox platform code to
allow user space to communicate with Mellanox for system control and
monitoring purposes. The driver notifies user on hotplug device
signal receiving.
- ASUS WMI drivers recognize lid flip action on UX360, and correctly
toggles airplane mode LED. In addition the keyboard backlight toggle
gets support.
- ThinkPad ACPI driver enables support for calculator key (on at least
P52). It also has been fixed to support three characters model
designators, which are used for modern laptops. Earlier the battery,
marked as BAT1, on ThinkPad laptops has not been configured properly,
which is fixed. On the opposite the multi-battery configurations now
probed correctly.
- Dell SMBIOS driver starts working on some Dell servers which do not
support token interface. The regression with backlight detection has
also been fixed. In order to support dock mode on some laptops, Intel
virtual button driver has been fixed. The last but not least is the
fix to Intel HID driver due to changes in Dell systems that prevented
to use power button.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
"In this round, we've tuned f2fs to improve general performance by
serializing block allocation and enhancing discard flows like fstrim
which avoids user IO contention. And we've added fsync_mode=nobarrier

commands to underlying flash storage. And there are many bug fixes
related to fuzzed images, revoked atomic writes, quota ops, and minor
direct IO.
Enhancements:
- add fsync_mode=nobarrier which bypasses cache_flush command
- enhance the discarding flow which avoids user IOs and issues in
LBA order
- readahead some encrypted blocks during GC
- enable in-memory inode checksum to verify the blocks if
F2FS_CHECK_FS is set
- enhance nat_bits behavior
- set -o discard by default

Bug fixes:
- fix a corner case to corrupt atomic_writes revoking flow
- revisit i_gc_rwsem to fix race conditions
- fix some dio behaviors captured by xfstests

ipc_addid() initializes kern_ipc_perm.seq after having called idr_alloc()
(within ipc_idr_alloc()).
Thus a parallel semop() or msgrcv() that uses ipc_obtain_object_check()
may see an uninitialized value.
The patch moves the initialization of kern_ipc_perm.seq before the calls
of idr_alloc().
Notes:
1) This patch has a user space visible side effect:
If /proc/sys/kernel/*_next_id is used (i.e.: checkpoint/restore) and
if semget()/msgget()/shmget() fails in the final step of adding the id
to the rhash tree, then .._next_id is cleared. Before the patch, is
remained unmodified.
There is no change of the behavior after a successful ..get() call: It
always clears .._next_id, there is no impact to non checkpoint/restore
code as that code does not use .._next_id.
2) The patch correctly documents that after a call to ipc_idr_alloc(),
the full tear-down sequence must be used. The callers of ipc_addid()
do not fullfill that, i.e. more bugfixes are required.
The patch is a squash of a patch from Dmitry and my own changes.

Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result
hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for
most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups
(syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup <
RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall
is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent
machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires
setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task
hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The
additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because
usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug
localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests.
Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to
set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs.
The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl,
similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value
of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to
timeout.

Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization
information via debugfs. This more or less is only really useful for
understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk
level with a few global counters. This is also gated behind a config.
BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing
increased use of percpu memory. Let's make it easier for someone to
identify how much memory is being used.
This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how
much percpu memory is in use. This number includes the cost for all
allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk
level. Metadata is excluded. I think excluding metadata is fair because
the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly
outweigh the metadata. It also makes this calculation light.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful.
Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state.
Historically, there are two common solutions for this
problem:
1) enabling panic_on_oom,
2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill
all outstanding processes.
Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious
waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a
userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs.
In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate
the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup
management for userspace applications.
This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller:
memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be
treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks
belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not
a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all.
To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup
hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root)
and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set.
Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as
an exception and are never killed.
This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

The Kconfig text for CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING doesn't mention that it has to
be enabled explicitly. This updates the documentation for that and adds a
note about CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING to the "page_poison" command line docs.
While here, change description of CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING_ZERO too, as it's
not "random" data, but rather the fixed debugging value that would be used
when not zeroing. Additionally removes a stray "bool" in the Kconfig.

Add support to get and control a list of resets for the device

some hardware-specific drivers already use their own resets,
and the common reset make a path to occur double controls of resets.
The ahci_platform_get_resources() can get and control the reset
only when the second argument includes AHCI_PLATFORM_GET_RESETS bit.

scripts/gen_initramfs_list.sh is only invoked from usr/Makefile.
Move it so that all tools to create initramfs are self-contained
in the usr/ directory.

Currently, Kconfig does not complain about the recursive dependency
where 'imply' keywords are involved.
[Test Code]
config A
bool "a"
config B
bool "b"
imply A
depends on A
In the code above, Kconfig cannot calculate the symbol values correctly
due to the circular dependency. For example, allyesconfig followed by
syncconfig results in an odd behavior because CONFIG_B becomes visible
in syncconfig.
$ make allyesconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --allyesconfig Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
$ cat .config
#
# Automatically generated file; DO NOT EDIT.
# Main menu
#
CONFIG_A=y
$ make syncconfig
scripts/kconfig/conf --syncconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* Main menu
*
a (A) [Y/n/?] y
b (B) [N/y/?] (NEW)
To detect this correctly, sym_check_expr_deps() should recurse to
not only sym->rev_dep.expr but also sym->implied.expr .
At this moment, sym_check_print_recursive() cannot distinguish
'select' and 'imply' since it does not know the precise context
where the recursive dependency has been hit. This will be solved
by the next commit.
In fact, even the document and the unit-test are confused. Using
'imply' does not solve recursive dependency since 'imply' addresses
the unmet direct dependency, which 'select' could cause.

In the documentation description, this capability's name is
KVM_CAP_ARM_SET_SERROR_ESR, but in the header file this
capability's name is KVM_CAP_ARM_INJECT_SERROR_ESR, so change
the documentation description to make it same.
