Merge an ACPI power management change, ACPI backlight driver changes, APEI updates and ACPI extlog driver changes for 6.8-rc1: - Modify the ACPI LPIT table handling code to avoid u32 multiplication overflows in state residency computations (Nikita Kiryushin). - Drop an unused helper function from the ACPI backlight (video) driver and add a clarifying comment to it (Hans de Goede). - Update the ACPI backlight driver to avoid using uninitialized memory in some cases (Nikita Kiryushin). - Add ACPI backlight quirk for the Colorful X15 AT 23 laptop (Yuluo Qiu). - Add support for vendor-defined error types to the ACPI APEI error injection code (Avadhut Naik). - Adjust APEI to properly set MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous memory failure events, so they are handled differently from the asynchronous ones (Shuai Xue). - Fix NULL pointer dereference check in the ACPI extlog driver (Prarit Bhargava). - Adjust the ACPI extlog driver to clear the Extended Error Log status when RAS_CEC handled the error (Tony Luck). * acpi-pm: ACPI: LPIT: Avoid u32 multiplication overflow * acpi-video: ACPI: video: Add quirk for the Colorful X15 AT 23 Laptop ACPI: video: check for error while searching for backlight device parent ACPI: video: Drop should_check_lcd_flag() ACPI: video: Add comment about acpi_video_backlight_use_native() usage * acpi-apei: ACPI: APEI: set memory failure flags as MF_ACTION_REQUIRED on synchronous events ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Add support for vendor defined error types platform/chrome: cros_ec_debugfs: Fix permissions for panicinfo fs: debugfs: Add write functionality to debugfs blobs ACPI: APEI: EINJ: Refactor available_error_type_show() * acpi-extlog: ACPI: extlog: Clear Extended Error Log status when RAS_CEC handled the error ACPI: extlog: fix NULL pointer dereference check
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.
