<content type='text'>
Add a kernel parameter stack_depot_disable to disable stack depot.  So
that stack hash table doesn't consume any memory when stack depot is
disabled.

The use case is CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER without page_owner=on.  Without this
patch, stackdepot will consume the memory for the hashtable.  By default,
it's 8M which is never trivial.

With this option, in CONFIG_PAGE_OWNER configured system, page_owner=off,
stack_depot_disable in kernel command line, we could save the wasted
memory for the hashtable.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix CONFIG_STACKDEPOT=n build]

The boot param and config determine the value of memcg_sysfs_enabled,
which is unused since commit 10befea91b61 ("mm: memcg/slab: use a single
set of kmem_caches for all allocations") as there are no per-memcg kmem
caches anymore.

Pull driver core / debugfs update from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" driver core and debugfs update for 5.12-rc1

  This set of driver core patches caused a bunch of problems in
  linux-next for the past few weeks, when Saravana tried to set
  fw_devlink=on as the default functionality. This caused a number of
  systems to stop booting, and lots of bugs were fixed in this area for
  almost all of the reported systems, but this option is not ready to be
  turned on just yet for the default operation based on this testing, so
  I've reverted that change at the very end so we don't have to worry
  about regressions in 5.12

  We will try to turn this on for 5.13 if testing goes better over the
  next few months.

  Other than the fixes caused by the fw_devlink testing in here, there's
  not much more:

   - debugfs fixes for invalid input into debugfs_lookup()

   - kerneldoc cleanups

   - warn message if platform drivers return an error on their remove
     callback (a futile effort, but good to catch).

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while now, and the
  regressions have gone away with the revert of the fw_devlink change"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - New "no_hash_pointers" kernel parameter causes that %p shows raw
   pointer values instead of hashed ones. It is intended only for
   debugging purposes. Misuse is prevented by a fat warning message that
   is inspired by trace_printk().

 - Prevent a possible deadlock when flushing printk_safe buffers during
   panic().

 - Fix performance regression caused by the lockless printk ringbuffer.
   It was visible with huge log buffer and long messages.

 - Documentation fix-up.

* tag 'printk-for-5.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
  lib/vsprintf: no_hash_pointers prints all addresses as unhashed
  kselftest: add support for skipped tests
  lib: use KSTM_MODULE_GLOBALS macro in kselftest drivers
  printk: avoid prb_first_valid_seq() where possible
  printk: fix deadlock when kernel panic
  printk: rectify kernel-doc for prb_rec_init_wr()

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It has been a relatively quiet cycle in docsland.

   - As promised, the minimum Sphinx version to build the docs is now
     1.7, and we have dropped support for Python 2 entirely. That
     allowed the removal of a bunch of compatibility code.

   - A set of treewide warning fixups from Mauro that I applied after it
     became clear nobody else was going to deal with them.

   - The automarkup mechanism can now create cross-references from
     relative paths to RST files.

   - More translations, typo fixes, and warning fixes"

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:

 - vDSO build improvements including support for building with BSD.

 - Cleanup to the AMU support code and initialisation rework to support
   cpufreq drivers built as modules.

 - Removal of synthetic frame record from exception stack when entering
   the kernel from EL0.

 - Add support for the TRNG firmware call introduced by Arm spec
   DEN0098.

 - Cleanup and refactoring across the board.

 - Avoid calling arch_get_random_seed_long() from
   add_interrupt_randomness()

 - Perf and PMU updates including support for Cortex-A78 and the v8.3
   SPE extensions.

 - Significant steps along the road to leaving the MMU enabled during
   kexec relocation.

 - Faultaround changes to initialise prefaulted PTEs as 'old' when
   hardware access-flag updates are supported, which drastically
   improves vmscan performance.

 - CPU errata updates for Cortex-A76 (#1463225) and Cortex-A55
   (#1024718)

 - Preparatory work for yielding the vector unit at a finer granularity
   in the crypto code, which in turn will one day allow us to defer
   softirq processing when it is in use.

 - Support for overriding CPU ID register fields on the command-line.
