Documentation: riscv: add patch acceptance guidelines

2020-01-05T05:49:01Z

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.

treewide: Use sizeof_field() macro

2019-12-09T18:36:44Z

Replace all the occurrences of FIELD_SIZEOF() with sizeof_field() except at places where these are defined. Later patches will remove the unused definition of FIELD_SIZEOF(). This patch is generated using following script: EXCLUDE_FILES="include/linux/stddef.h|include/linux/kernel.h" git grep -l -e "\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b" | while read file; do if [[ "$file" =~ $EXCLUDE_FILES ]]; then continue fi sed -i -e 's/\bFIELD_SIZEOF\b/sizeof_field/g' $file; done Signed-off-by: Pankaj Bharadiya Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190924105839.110713-3-pankaj.laxminarayan.bharadiya@intel.com Co-developed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Acked-by: David Miller # for net

Merge tag 'tty-5.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty

Pull tty/serial updates from Greg KH: "Here is the "big" tty and serial driver patches for 5.5-rc1. It's a bit later in the merge window than normal as I wanted to make sure some last-minute patches applied to it were all sane. They seem to be :) There's a lot of little stuff in here, for the tty core, and for lots of serial drivers: - reverts of uartlite serial driver patches that were wrong - msm-serial driver fixes - serial core updates and fixes - tty core fixes - serial driver dma mapping api changes - lots of other tiny fixes and updates for serial drivers All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues" * tag 'tty-5.5-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty: (58 commits) Revert "serial/8250: Add support for NI-Serial PXI/PXIe+485 devices" vcs: prevent write access to vcsu devices tty: vt: keyboard: reject invalid keycodes tty: don't crash in tty_init_dev when missing tty_port serial: stm32: fix clearing interrupt error flags tty: Fix Kconfig indentation, continued serial: serial_core: Perform NULL checks for break_ctl ops tty: remove unused argument from tty_open_by_driver() tty: Fix Kconfig indentation {tty: serial, nand: onenand}: samsung: rename to fix build warning serial: ifx6x60: add missed pm_runtime_disable serial: pl011: Fix DMA ->flush_buffer() Revert "serial-uartlite: Move the uart register" Revert "serial-uartlite: Add get serial id if not provided" Revert "serial-uartlite: Do not use static struct uart_driver out of probe()" Revert "serial-uartlite: Add runtime support" Revert "serial-uartlite: Change logic how console_port is setup" Revert "serial-uartlite: Use allocated structure instead of static ones" tty: serial: msm_serial: Use dma_request_chan() directly for channel request tty: serial: tegra: Use dma_request_chan() directly for channel request ...

Remove every trace of SERIAL_MAGIC

2019-11-13T11:01:14Z

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.

docs: process: Add base-commit trailer usage

2019-11-07T20:17:25Z

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.

Documentation/process: Add fallthrough pseudo-keyword

2019-10-11T16:26:05Z

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)" Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Nick Desaulniers Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
