Linus Torvalds 4152d146ee Merge branch 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux
Pull READ/WRITE_ONCE rework from Will Deacon:
 "This the READ_ONCE rework I've been working on for a while, which
  bumps the minimum GCC version and improves code-gen on arm64 when
  stack protector is enabled"

[ Side note: I'm _really_ tempted to raise the minimum gcc version to
  4.9, so that we can just say that we require _Generic() support.

  That would allow us to more cleanly handle a lot of the cases where we
  depend on very complex macros with 'sizeof' or __builtin_choose_expr()
  with __builtin_types_compatible_p() etc.

  This branch has a workaround for sparse not handling _Generic(),
  either, but that was already fixed in the sparse development branch,
  so it's really just gcc-4.9 that we'd require.   - Linus ]

* 'rwonce/rework' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/will/linux:
  compiler_types.h: Use unoptimized __unqual_scalar_typeof for sparse
  compiler_types.h: Optimize __unqual_scalar_typeof compilation time
  compiler.h: Enforce that READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() access size is sizeof(long)
  compiler-types.h: Include naked type in __pick_integer_type() match
  READ_ONCE: Fix comment describing 2x32-bit atomicity
  gcov: Remove old GCC 3.4 support
  arm64: barrier: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for acquire/release macros
  locking/barriers: Use '__unqual_scalar_typeof' for load-acquire macros
  READ_ONCE: Drop pointer qualifiers when reading from scalar types
  READ_ONCE: Enforce atomicity for {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() memory accesses
  READ_ONCE: Simplify implementations of {READ,WRITE}_ONCE()
  arm64: csum: Disable KASAN for do_csum()
  fault_inject: Don't rely on "return value" from WRITE_ONCE()
  net: tls: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
  netfilter: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
  compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8

Geert Uytterhoeven 77d22a4388 Documentation/CodingStyle: Fix duplicate "are" typo
The improved paragraph about line lengths contains a sentence with a
duplicate word: there is one "are" at the end of a line, followed by a
second one at the beginning of the next line.

Drop the first one, as that one is part of the longest line.

Alexander A. Klimov 93431e0607 Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones: documentation
Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.

Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
  For each line:
    If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
      For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
        If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
        return 200 OK and serve the same content:
          Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

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

Joe Perches bdc48fa11e checkpatch/coding-style: deprecate 80-column warning
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

Will Deacon 5429ef62bc compiler/gcc: Raise minimum GCC version for kernel builds to 4.8
It is very rare to see versions of GCC prior to 4.8 being used to build
the mainline kernel. These old compilers are also know to have codegen
issues which can lead to silent miscompilation:

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145

Raise the minimum GCC version for kernel build to 4.8 and remove some
tautological Kconfig dependencies as a consequence.

Borislav Petkov 0aa78b105f Documentation/changes: Raise minimum supported binutils version to 2.23
The currently minimum-supported binutils version 2.21 has the problem of
promoting symbols which are defined outside of a section into absolute.
According to Arvind:

  binutils-2.21 and -2.22. An x86-64 defconfig will fail with
          Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: _etext
  and after fixing that one, with
          Invalid absolute R_X86_64_32S relocation: __end_of_kernel_reserve

Those two versions of binutils have a bug when it comes to handling
symbols defined outside of a section and binutils 2.23 has the proper
fix, see: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/binutils/2012-06/msg00155.html

Therefore, up to the fixed version directly, skipping the broken ones.

Currently shipping distros already have the fixed binutils version so
there should be no breakage resulting from this.

For more details about the whole thing, see the thread in Link.

Linus continues to remind[1] people to stop using the BUG()-family of

has been warning[2] since 2015), so add more details to deprecated.rst,
as a distinct place to point people to for guidance.

Paul Walmsley 0e194d9da1 Documentation: riscv: add patch acceptance guidelines
Formalize, in kernel documentation, the patch acceptance policy for
arch/riscv.  In summary, it states that as maintainers, we plan to
only accept patches for new modules or extensions that have been
frozen or ratified by the RISC-V Foundation.

We've been following these guidelines for the past few months.  In the
meantime, we've received quite a bit of feedback that it would be
helpful to have these guidelines formally documented.

Based on a suggestion from Matthew Wilcox, we also add a link to this
file to Documentation/process/index.rst, to make this document easier
to find.  The format of this document has also been changed to align
to the format outlined in the maintainer entry profiles, in accordance
with comments from Jon Corbet and Dan Williams.

Pascal Terjan fba67e8f89 Remove every trace of SERIAL_MAGIC
This means removing support for checking magic in amiserial.c
(SERIAL_PARANOIA_CHECK option), which was checking a magic field which
doesn't currently exist in the struct. That code hasn't built at least
since git.

Removing the definition from the header is safe anyway as that code was
from another driver and not including it.

Konstantin Ryabitsev e8686a40a3 docs: process: Add base-commit trailer usage
One of the recurring complaints from both maintainers and CI system
operators is that performing git-am on received patches is difficult
without knowing the parent object in the git history on which the
patches are based. Without this information, there is a high likelihood
that git-am will fail due to conflicts, which is particularly
frustrating to CI operators.

Git versions starting with v2.9.0 are able to automatically include
base-commit information using the --base flag of git-format-patch.
Document this usage in process/submitting-patches, and add the rationale
for its inclusion, plus instructions for those not using git on where
the "base-commit:" trailer should go.

I need to pick up the independent changes made to
Documentation/core-api/memory-allocation.rst to be able to merge further
work without creating a total mess.

Joe Perches b9918bdcac Documentation/process: Add fallthrough pseudo-keyword
Describe the fallthrough pseudo-keyword.

Convert the coding-style.rst example to the keyword style.
Add description and links to deprecated.rst.

Miguel Ojeda comments on the eventual [[fallthrough]] syntax:
 "Note that C17/C18 does not have [[fallthrough]].

  C++17 introduced it, as it is mentioned above. I would keep the
  __attribute__((fallthrough)) -> [[fallthrough]] change you did,
  though, since that is indeed the standard syntax (given the paragraph
  references C++17).

  I was told by Aaron Ballman (who is proposing them for C) that it is
  more or less likely that it becomes standardized in C2x. However, it
  is still not added to the draft (other attributes are already,
  though). See N2268 and N2269:

     http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2268.pdf (fallthrough)
     http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n2269.pdf (attributes in general)"

Kees Cook aa20485528 doc-rst: Programmatically render MAINTAINERS into ReST
In order to have the MAINTAINERS file visible in the rendered ReST
output, this makes some small changes to the existing MAINTAINERS file
to allow for better machine processing, and adds a new Sphinx directive
"maintainers-include" to perform the rendering.

Features include:
- Per-subsystem reference links: subsystem maintainer entries can be
  trivially linked to both internally and external. For example:
  https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/maintainers.html#secure-computing

- Internally referenced .rst files are linked so they can be followed
  when browsing the resulting rendering. This allows, for example, the
  future addition of maintainer profiles to be automatically linked.

- Field name expansion: instead of the short fields (e.g. "M", "F",
  "K"), use the indicated inline "full names" for the fields (which are
  marked with "*"s in MAINTAINERS) so that a rendered subsystem entry
  is more human readable. Email lists are additionally comma-separated.
  For example:

    SECURE COMPUTING
	Mail:	  Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
	Reviewer: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>,
		  Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org>

Linus Torvalds 97f9a3c4ee Documentation/process update for 5.4-rc1
Here are 2 small Documentation/process/embargoed-hardware-issues.rst
 file updates that missed my previous char/misc pull request for 5.4-rc1.
 
 The first one adds an Intel representative for the process, and the
 second one cleans up the text a bit more when it comes to how the
 disclosure rules work, as it was a bit confusing to some companies.

Thomas Gleixner dc925a3606 Documentation/process: Clarify disclosure rules
The role of the contact list provided by the disclosing party and how it
affects the disclosure process and the ability to include experts into
the development process is not really well explained.

Neither is it entirely clear when the disclosing party will be informed
about the fact that a developer who is not covered by an employer NDA needs
to be brought in and disclosed.

Explain the role of the contact list and the information policy along with
an eventual conflict resolution better.

Linus Torvalds 7c672abc12 It's a somewhat calmer cycle for docs this time, as the churn of the mass
RST conversion is happily mostly behind us.
 
  - A new document on reproducible builds.
 
  - We finally got around to zapping the documentation for hardware support
    that was removed in 2004; one doesn't want to rush these things.
 
  - The usual assortment of fixes, typo corrections, etc.
 
 You'll still find a handful of annoying conflicts against other trees,
 mostly tied to the last RST conversions; resolutions are straightforward
 and the linux-next ones are good.
