Linus Torvalds 2f0c1cf72f Merge tag 's390-7.3-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull s390 fixes from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Fix NULL pointer dereferences in s390dbf when setting debug levels or
   resizing debug areas while logging events. Remove duplicate messages
   about kernel parameter overrides

 - Fix PAI perf crashes when per task events move to newly onlined CPUs.
   Add CPU hotplug callbacks to allocate and free the per-CPU data

 - Fix mutex use in atomic context in AES and PAES CTR code by using
   semaphore trylocks instead. Remove conditional locking and enable
   Clang CONTEXT_ANALYSIS for the crypto code

 - Fix scatterlist walk error handling in AES and PAES and avoid freeing
   PAES walk resources twice

 - Fix missing scrubbing of temporary AES and PAES buffers, including
   AES GCM error paths

 - Set missing CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC and CRYPTO_ALG_NO_FALLBACK flags for
   PAES

 - Fix -EBUSY handling in PAES and PHMAC to avoid cleaning up requests
   already queued to the crypto engine

 - Fix PAES and PHMAC requests being completed twice on errors

 - Fix PAES and PHMAC hangs when key conversion keeps returning -EBUSY
   by returning -EIO after the last retry

Linux kernel
============

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
