- Avoid sleeping in atomic context when changing linear map permissions
for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or KFENCE.
- Rework printing of Spectre mitigation status to avoid hardlockup when
enabling per-task mitigations on the context-switch path.
- Reject kernel modules when instruction patching fails either due to
the DWARF-based SCS patching or because of an alternatives callback
residing outside of the core kernel text.
- Propagate error when updating kernel memory permissions in kprobes.
- Drop pointless, incorrect message when enabling the ACPI SPCR console.
- Use value-returning LSE instructions for per-cpu atomics to reduce
latency in SRCU locking routines.

Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
"There's more here than I would ideally like at this stage, but there's
been a steady trickle of fixes and some of them took a few rounds of
review.
The bulk of the changes are fixing some fallout from the recent BBM
level two support which allows the linear map to be split from block
to page mappings at runtime, but inadvertently led to sleeping in
atomic context on some paths where the linear map was already mapped
with page granularity. The fix is simply to avoid splitting in those
cases but the implementation of that is a little involved.
The other interesting fix is addressing a catastophic performance
issue with our per-cpu atomics discovered by Paul in the SRCU locking
code but which took some interactions with the hardware folks to
resolve.
Summary:
- Avoid sleeping in atomic context when changing linear map
permissions for DEBUG_PAGEALLOC or KFENCE
- Rework printing of Spectre mitigation status to avoid hardlockup
when enabling per-task mitigations on the context-switch path
- Reject kernel modules when instruction patching fails either due to
the DWARF-based SCS patching or because of an alternatives callback
residing outside of the core kernel text
- Propagate error when updating kernel memory permissions in kprobes
- Drop pointless, incorrect message when enabling the ACPI SPCR
console
- Use value-returning LSE instructions for per-cpu atomics to reduce
latency in SRCU locking routines"

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 reStructuredText 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.
