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.

The Landisk setup code maps the CF IDE area using ioremap_prot(), and
passes the resulting virtual addresses to the pata_platform driver,
disguising them as I/O port addresses. Hence the pata_platform driver
translates them again using ioport_map().
As CONFIG_GENERIC_IOMAP=n, and CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT_MAP=y, the
SuperH-specific mapping code in arch/sh/kernel/ioport.c translates
I/O port addresses to virtual addresses by adding sh_io_port_base, which
defaults to -1, thus breaking the assumption of an identity mapping.
Fix this by setting sh_io_port_base to zero.

Other architectures expect that syscall_set_return_value gets an already
negative value as error. That's also what kernel/seccomp.c provides.

This avoids out-of-range jumps that get auto-replaced by the assembler
and prepares for the changes needed to implement SECCOMP_FILTER cleanly.

Use the copy_thread_tls() calling convention which passes tls through a
register. This is required so we can remove the copy_thread{_tls}() split
and remove the HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS macro.

This switches to using common code for the DMA allocations, including
potential use of the CMA allocator if configured.
Switching to the generic code enables DMA allocations from atomic
context, which is required by the DMA API documentation, and also
adds various other minor features drivers start relying upon. It
also makes sure we have on tested code base for all architectures
that require uncached pte bits for coherent DMA allocations.

The code handling non-coherent DMA depends on being able to remap code
as non-cached. But that can't be done without an MMU, so using this
option on NOMMU builds is broken.
