Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
"Two more bugfixes that came in during this week:
- a defconfig change to enable a vital driver used on some Qualcomm
based phones. This was already queued for 4.11, but the maintainer
asked to have it in 4.10 after all.
- a regression fix for the reset controller framework, this got
broken by a typo in the 4.10 merge window"

x86/vm86: Fix unused variable warning if THP is disabled
The 64-bit get_user() wasn't clearing the high word due to a typo in the
error handler. The exception handler entry was already correct, though.
Noticed during recent usercopy test additions in lib/test_user_copy.c.

Pull "Reset controller fixes for v4.10" from Philipp Zabel:
- Remove erroneous negation of the error check of the reset function
to decrement trigger_count in the error case, not on success. This
fixes shared resets to actually only trigger once, as intended.

Pull locking fix from Thomas Gleixner:
"Move the futex init function to core initcall so user mode helper does
not run into an uninitialized futex syscall"

futex: Move futex_init() to core_initcall
GCC complains about unused variable 'vma' in mark_screen_rdonly() if THP is
disabled:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c: In function ‘mark_screen_rdonly’:
arch/x86/kernel/vm86_32.c:180:26: warning: unused variable ‘vma’
[-Wunused-variable]
struct vm_area_struct *vma = find_vma(mm, 0xA0000);
That's silly. pmd_trans_huge() resolves to 0 when THP is disabled, so the
whole block should be eliminated.
Moving the variable declaration outside the if() block shuts GCC up.

In commit 76624175dcae ("arm64: uaccess: consistently check object sizes"),
the object size checks are moved outside the access_ok() so that bad
destinations are detected before hitting the "memset(dest, 0, size)" in the
copy_from_user() failure path.
This makes the same change for arm, with attention given to possibly
extracting the uaccess routines into a common header file for all
architectures in the future.

For a shared reset, when the reset is successful, the triggered_count is
incremented when trying to call the reset callback, so that another device
sharing the same reset line won't trigger it again. If the reset has not
been triggered successfully, the trigger_count should be decremented.
The code does the opposite, and decrements the trigger_count on success.
As a consequence, another device sharing the reset will be able to trigger
it again.
Fixed be removing negation in from of the error code of the reset function.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two small fixes::
- Prevent deadlock on the tick broadcast lock. Found and fixed by
Mike.
- Stop using printk() in the timekeeping debug code to prevent a
deadlock against the scheduler"

timekeeping: Use deferred printk() in debug code
tick/broadcast: Prevent deadlock on tick_broadcast_lock
The UEVENT user mode helper is enabled before the initcalls are executed
and is available when the root filesystem has been mounted.
The user mode helper is triggered by device init calls and the executable
might use the futex syscall.
futex_init() is marked __initcall which maps to device_initcall, but there
is no guarantee that futex_init() is invoked _before_ the first device init
call which triggers the UEVENT user mode helper.
If the user mode helper uses the futex syscall before futex_init() then the
syscall crashes with a NULL pointer dereference because the futex subsystem
has not been initialized yet.
Move futex_init() to core_initcall so futexes are initialized before the
root filesystem is mounted and the usermode helper becomes available.
