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.

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.

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.

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.

Merge tag 'v5.4-rc4' into docs-next
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.
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)"

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:

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.

To address the requirements of embargoed hardware issues, like Meltdown,
Spectre, L1TF etc. it is necessary to define and document a process for
handling embargoed hardware security issues.
Following the discussion at the maintainer summit 2018 in Edinburgh
(https://lwn.net/Articles/769417/) the volunteered people have worked
out a process and a Memorandum of Understanding. The latter addresses
the fact that the Linux kernel community cannot sign NDAs for various
reasons.
The initial contact point for hardware security issues is different from
the regular kernel security contact to provide a known and neutral
interface for hardware vendors and researchers. The initial primary
contact team is proposed to be staffed by Linux Foundation Fellows, who
are not associated to a vendor or a distribution and are well connected
in the industry as a whole.
The process is designed with the experience of the past incidents in
mind and tries to address the remaining gaps, so future (hopefully rare)
incidents can be handled more efficiently. It won't remove the fact,
that most of this has to be done behind closed doors, but it is set up
to avoid big bureaucratic hurdles for individual developers.
The process is solely for handling hardware security issues and cannot
be used for regular kernel (software only) security bugs.
This memo can help with hardware companies who, and I quote, "[my
manager] doesn't want to bet his job on the list keeping things secret."
This despite numerous leaks directly from that company over the years,
and none ever so far from the kernel security team. Cognitive
dissidence seems to be a requirement to be a good manager.
To accelerate the adoption of this process, we introduce the concept of
ambassadors in participating companies. The ambassadors are there to
guide people to comply with the process, but are not automatically
involved in the disclosure of a particular incident.

Hi Linus,
Please, pull the following patches that mark switch cases where we are
expecting to fall through. These patches are part of the ongoing efforts
to enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough. Most of them have been baking in linux-next
for a whole development cycle.
Also, pull the Makefile patch that globally enables the
-Wimplicit-fallthrough option.
Finally, some missing-break fixes that have been tagged for -stable:
- drm/amdkfd: Fix missing break in switch statement
- drm/amdgpu/gfx10: Fix missing break in switch statement
Notice that with these changes, we completely get rid of all the
fall-through warnings in the kernel.
Thanks
