![]() We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11: * Support for the contiguous memory allocator. * Support for IRQ Time Accounting * Support for stack tracing * Support for strict /dev/mem * Support for kernel section protection I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK). There are, however, some fixes on the list that I will likely be sending along either later this week or early next week. There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations (PREEMPT{,_DEBUG}=y) fails to boot on QEMU 5.0.0 (from April) as of the .text.init alignment patch. With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get fixed all over the place and how unrelated those features seem my guess is that we're just running into something that's been lurking for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU (though I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit assumptions we have in the boot flow). If it was hardware I'd be strongly inclined to look more closely, but given that users can upgrade their simulators I'm less worried about it. There are two merge conflicts, both in build files. They're both a bit clunky: arch/riscv/Kconfig is out of order (I have a script that's supposed to keep them in order, I'll fix it) and lib/Makefile is out of order (though GENERIC_LIB here doesn't mean quite what it does above). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJHBAABCgAxFiEEKzw3R0RoQ7JKlDp6LhMZ81+7GIkFAl/cHO4THHBhbG1lckBk YWJiZWx0LmNvbQAKCRAuExnzX7sYiTlmD/4uDyNHBM1XH/XD4fSEwTYJvGLqt/Jo vtrGR/fm0SlQFUKCcywSzxcVAeGn56CACbEIDYLuL4xXRJmbwEuaRrHVx2sEhS9p pNhy+wus/SgDz5EUAawMyR2AEWgzl77hY5T/+AAo4yv65SGGBfsIdz5noIVwGNqW r0g5cw2O99z0vwu1aSrK4isWHconG9MfQnnVyepPSh67pyWS4aUCr1K3vLiqD2dE XcgtwdcgzUIY5aEoJNrWo5qTrcaG8m6MRNCDAKJ6MKdDA2wdGIN868G0wQnoURRm Y+yW7w3P20kM0b87zH50jujTWg38NBKOfaXb0mAfawZMapL60veTVmvs2kNtFXCy F6JWRkgTiRnGY72FtRR0igWXT5M7fz0EiLFXLMItGcgj79TUget4l/3sRMN47S/O cA/WiwptJH3mh8IkL6z5ZxWEThdOrbFt8F1T+Gyq/ayblcPnJaLn/wrWoeOwviWR fvEC7smuF5SBTbWZK5tBOP21Nvhb7bfr49Sgr8Tvdjl15tz97qK+2tsLXwkBoQnJ wU45jcXfzr5wgiGBOQANRite5bLsJ0TuOrTgA5gsGpv+JSDGbpcJbm0833x00nX/ 3GsW5xr+vsLCvljgPAtKsyDNRlGQu908Gxrat2+s8u92bLr1bwn30uKL5h6i/n1w QgWATuPPGXZZdw== =GWIH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-5.11-mw0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/riscv/linux Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt: "We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11: - Support for the contiguous memory allocator. - Support for IRQ Time Accounting - Support for stack tracing - Support for strict /dev/mem - Support for kernel section protection I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK).
