23f03fe220 docs: hw-vuln: tsx_async_abort.rst: get rid of an unused ref
The virt_mechanism reference there points to a section
called elsewhere (Virtualization mitigation). Also, it is
not used anywere.

Besides that, it conflicts with a label with the same name
inside:

	Documentation/admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.rst

Perhaps added due to some cut-and-paste?

Anyway, as this is not used, let's just get rid of it.

* the list of files is now the table of contents (old entries with no
  corresponding sections are added as empty sections for now);
* code references and commands are formatted as code, except for
  function names which end up linked to the appropriate documentation;
* links are used to point to other documentation and other sections;
* tables are used to make lists of values more readable (as already
  done for some sections);
* in heavily-reworked paragraphs, sentences are wrapped individually,
  to make future diffs easier to read.

The first mention of the kernel version is dropped. The second
mention, saying that the document is accurate for 2.2, is preserved
for now; I will update that once the document really is accurate for a
current kernel release.

7495e0926f bootconfig: Only load bootconfig if "bootconfig" is on the kernel cmdline
As the bootconfig is appended to the initrd it is not as easy to modify as
the kernel command line. If there's some issue with the kernel, and the
developer wants to boot a pristine kernel, it should not be needed to modify
the initrd to remove the bootconfig for a single boot.

As bootconfig is silently added (if the admin does not know where to look
they may not know it's being loaded). It should be explicitly added to the
kernel cmdline. The loading of the bootconfig is only done if "bootconfig"
is on the kernel command line. This will let admins know that the kernel
command line is extended.

Note, after adding printk()s for when the size is too great or the checksum
is wrong, exposed that the current method always looked for the boot config,
and if this size and checksum matched, it would parse it (as if either is
wrong a printk has been added to show this). It's better to only check this
if the boot config is asked to be looked for.

4dcb78ee57 intel_idle: Introduce 'states_off' module parameter
In certain system configurations it may not be desirable to use some
C-states assumed to be available by intel_idle and the driver needs
to be prevented from using them even before the cpuidle sysfs
interface becomes accessible to user space.  Currently, the only way
to achieve that is by setting the 'max_cstate' module parameter to a
value lower than the index of the shallowest of the C-states in
question, but that may be overly intrusive, because it effectively
makes all of the idle states deeper than the 'max_cstate' one go
away (and the C-state to avoid may be in the middle of the range
normally regarded as available).

To allow that limitation to be overcome, introduce a new module
parameter called 'states_off' to represent a list of idle states to

3a5be9b8f4 intel_idle: Introduce 'use_acpi' module parameter
For diagnostics, it is generally useful to be able to make intel_idle
take the system's ACPI tables into consideration even if that is not
required for the processor model in there, so introduce a new module
parameter, 'use_acpi', to make that happen and update the documentation
to cover it.

While at it, fix the 'no_acpi' module parameter name in the
documentation.

c65e6815db s390/boot: add dfltcc= kernel command line parameter
Add the new kernel command line parameter 'dfltcc=' to configure s390
zlib hardware support.

Format: { on | off | def_only | inf_only | always }
 on:       s390 zlib hardware support for compression on
           level 1 and decompression (default)
 off:      No s390 zlib hardware support
 def_only: s390 zlib hardware support for deflate
           only (compression on level 1)
 inf_only: s390 zlib hardware support for inflate
           only (decompression)
 always:   Same as 'on' but ignores the selected compression
           level always using hardware support (used for debugging)

e5da4c933c This merge window, we've added some performance improvements in how we
handle inode locking in the read/write paths, and improving the
 performance of Direct I/O overwrites.  We also now record the error
 code which caused the first and most recent ext4_error() report in the
 superblock, to make it easier to root cause problems in production
 systems.  There are also many of the usual cleanups and miscellaneous

aac9662671 USB/Thunderbolt/PHY driver updates for 5.6-rc1
Here is the big USB and Thunderbolt and PHY driver updates for 5.6-rc1.
 
 With the advent of USB4, "Thunderbolt" has really become USB4, so the
 renaming of the Kconfig option and starting to share subsystem code has
 begun, hence both subsystems coming in through the same tree here.
 
 PHY driver updates also touched USB drivers, so that is coming in
 through here as well.
 
 Major stuff included in here are:
 	- USB 4 initial support added (i.e. Thunderbolt)
 	- musb driver updates
 	- USB gadget driver updates
 	- PHY driver updates
 	- USB PHY driver updates
 	- lots of USB serial stuff fixed up
 	- USB typec updates
 	- USB-IP fixes
 	- lots of other smaller USB driver updates
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a while now (the usb-serial
 tree is already tested in linux-next on its own before merged into
 here), with no reported issues.

3d3b44a61a The interrupt departement provides:
- A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:
 
    The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
    kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
    the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
    CPU handling of block devices.
 
    If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated CPUs
    the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would then be
    disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.
 
    The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is online
    in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a housekeeping
    CPU.
 
    If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then the
    interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue intact,
    but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these interrupts are
    not raised.
 
  - A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
    duplication in irq chip drivers
 
  - Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains
 
  - The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI, NXP
    INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO
 
  - The first cut of support for the new ARM GICv4.1
 
  - The usual pile of fixes and improvements in core and driver code

Pull irq updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The interrupt departement provides:

   - A mechanism to shield isolated tasks from managed interrupts:

     The affinity of managed interrupts is completely controlled by the
     kernel and user space has no influence on them. The reason is that
     the automatically assigned affinity correlates to the multi-queue
     CPU handling of block devices.

     If the generated affinity mask spaws both housekeeping and isolated
     CPUs the interrupt could be routed to an isolated CPU which would
     then be disturbed by I/O submitted by a housekeeping CPU.

     The new mechamism ensures that as long as one housekeeping CPU is
     online in the assigned affinity mask the interrupt is routed to a
     housekeeping CPU.

     If there is no online housekeeping CPU in the affinity mask, then
     the interrupt is routed to an isolated CPU to keep the device queue
     intact, but unless the isolated CPU submits I/O by itself these
     interrupts are not raised.

   - A small addon to the device tree irqdomain core code to avoid
     duplication in irq chip drivers

   - Conversion of the SiFive PLIC to hierarchical domains

   - The usual pile of new irq chip drivers: SiFive GPIO, Aspeed SCI,
     NXP INTMUX, Meson A1 GPIO

   - The first cut of support for the new ARM GICv4.1

   - The usual pile of fixes and improvements in core and driver code"

Merge tag 'selinux-pr-20200127' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux

Pull SELinux update from Paul Moore:
 "This is one of the bigger SELinux pull requests in recent years with
  28 patches. Everything is passing our test suite and the highlights
  are below:

   - Mark CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE as deprecated. We're some time
     away from actually attempting to remove this in the kernel, but the
     only distro we know that still uses it (Fedora) is working on
     moving away from this so we want to at least let people know we are
     planning to remove it.

   - Reorder the SELinux hooks to help prevent bad things when SELinux
     is disabled at runtime. The proper fix is to remove the
     CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_DISABLE functionality (see above) and just
     take care of it at boot time (e.g. "selinux=0").

   - Add SELinux controls for the kernel lockdown functionality,
     introducing a new SELinux class/permissions: "lockdown { integrity
     confidentiality }".

   - Add a SELinux control for move_mount(2) that reuses the "file {
     mounton }" permission.

   - Improvements to the SELinux security label data store lookup
     functions to speed up translations between our internal label
     representations and the visible string labels (both directions).

   - Revisit a previous fix related to SELinux inode auditing and
     permission caching and do it correctly this time.

   - Fix the SELinux access decision cache to cleanup properly on error.
     In some extreme cases this could limit the cache size and result in
     a decrease in performance.

   - Enable SELinux per-file labeling for binderfs.

   - The SELinux initialized and disabled flags were wrapped with
     accessors to ensure they are accessed correctly.

   - Mark several key SELinux structures with __randomize_layout.

   - Changes to the LSM build configuration to only build
     security/lsm_audit.c when needed.

   - Changes to the SELinux build configuration to only build the IB
     object cache when CONFIG_SECURITY_INFINIBAND is enabled.

   - Move a number of single-caller functions into their callers.

   - Documentation fixes (/selinux -> /sys/fs/selinux).

   - A handful of cleanup patches that aren't worth mentioning on their
     own, the individual descriptions have plenty of detail"
