Merge ACPI EC driver updates and ACPI processor driver updates for 5.17-rc1: - Rework flushing of EC work while suspended to idle and clean up the handling of events in the ACPI EC driver (Rafael Wysocki). - Prohibit ec_sys module parameter write_support from being used when the system is locked down (Hans de Goede). - Make the ACPI processor thermal driver use cpufreq_cpu_get() to check for presence of cpufreq policy (Manfred Spraul). - Avoid unnecessary CPU cache flushing in the ACPI processor idle driver (Kirill A. Shutemov). - Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions in the ACPI processor driver (Andy Shevchenko). - Use swap() instead of open coding it in the ACPI processor idle driver (Guo Zhengkui). * acpi-ec: ACPI: EC: Mark the ec_sys write_support param as module_param_hw() ACPI: EC: Relocate acpi_ec_create_query() and drop acpi_ec_delete_query() ACPI: EC: Make the event work state machine visible ACPI: EC: Avoid queuing unnecessary work in acpi_ec_submit_event() ACPI: EC: Rename three functions ACPI: EC: Simplify locking in acpi_ec_event_handler() ACPI: EC: Rearrange the loop in acpi_ec_event_handler() ACPI: EC: Fold acpi_ec_check_event() into acpi_ec_event_handler() ACPI: EC: Pass one argument to acpi_ec_query() ACPI: EC: Call advance_transaction() from acpi_ec_dispatch_gpe() ACPI: EC: Rework flushing of EC work while suspended to idle * acpi-processor: ACPI: processor: thermal: avoid cpufreq_get_policy() ACPI: processor: idle: Only flush cache on entering C3 ACPI: processor idle: Use swap() instead of open coding it ACPI: processor: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
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 Restructured Text 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.
