Linus Torvalds 5be413a6e2 s390 updates for 6.2-rc4
- Add various missing READ_ONCE() to cmpxchg() loops prevent the compiler
   from potentially generating incorrect code. This includes a rather large
   change to the s390 specific hardware sampling code and its current use of
   cmpxchg_double().
   Do the fix now to get it out of the way of Peter Zijlstra's cmpxchg128()
   work, and have something that can be backported. The added new code
   includes a private 128 bit cmpxchg variant which will be removed again
   after Peter's rework is available. Also note that this 128 bit cmpxchg
   variant is used to implement 128 bit READ_ONCE(), while strictly speaking
   it wouldn't be necessary, and _READ_ONCE() should also be sufficient;
   even though it isn't obvious for all converted locations that this is the
   case. Therefore use this implementation for for the sake of clarity and
   consistency for now.
 
 - Fix ipl report address handling to avoid kdump failures/hangs.
 
 - Fix misuse of #(el)if in kernel decompressor.
 
 - Define RUNTIME_DISCARD_EXIT to fix link error with GNU ld < 2.36, caused
   by the recently changed discard behaviour.
 
 - Make sure _edata and _end symbols are always page aligned.
 
 - The current header guard DEBUG_H in one of the s390 specific header files
   is too generic and conflicts with the ath9k wireless driver. Add an
   _ASM_S390_ prefix to the guard to make it unique.
 
 - Update defconfigs.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
