Pull zstd fixes from Nick Terrell:
"Fix stack usage on parisc & improve code size bloat
This contains three commits:
1. Fixes a minor unused variable warning reported by Kernel test
robot [0].
2. Improves the reported code bloat (-88KB / 374KB) [1] by outlining
some functions that are unlikely to be used in performance
sensitive workloads.
3. Fixes the reported excess stack usage on parisc [2] by removing
-O3 from zstd's compilation flags. -O3 triggered bugs in the
hppa-linux-gnu gcc-8 compiler. -O2 performance is acceptable:
neutral compression, about -1% decompression speed. We also reduce
code bloat (-105KB / 374KB).
After this our code bloat is cut from 374KB to 105KB with gcc-11. If
we wanted to cut the remaining 105KB we'd likely have to trade
signicant performance, so I want to say that this is enough for now.
We should be able to get further gains without sacrificing speed, but
that will take some significant optimization effort, and isn't
suitable for a quick fix. I've opened an upstream issue [3] to track
the code size, and try to avoid future regressions, and improve it in
the long term"

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.
