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.

Removing 2 instances of alignment warnings
drivers/staging/vt6655/rxtx.h:153:1: warning: alignment 1 of ‘struct vnt_cts’ is less than 2 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
drivers/staging/vt6655/rxtx.h:163:1: warning: alignment 1 of ‘struct vnt_cts_fb’ is less than 2 [-Wpacked-not-aligned]
The root cause seems to be that _because_ struct ieee80211_cts is marked as __aligned(2),
this requires any encapsulating struct to also have an alignment of 2.

request_irq() wont accept a name which contains slash so we need to
repalce it with something else -- otherwise it will trigger a warning
and the entry in /proc/irq/ will not be created
since the .name might be used by userspace and we don't want to break
userspace, so we are changing the parameters passed to request_irq()

The drivers/staging/ tree has a new mailing list,
linux-staging@lists.linux.dev, so move the MAINTAINER entry to point to
it so that we get patches sent to the proper place.
There was no need to specify a list for the hikey9xx driver, the tools
pick up the "base" list for drivers/staging/* so remove that line to
make the file simpler.

The VME and Android drivers still have their MAINTAINERS entries
pointing to the "driverdevel" mailing list, due to them having their
codebase move out of the drivers/staging/ directory, but no one
remembered to change the mailing list entries.
Move them both to linux-kernel for lack of a more specific place at the
moment. These are both low-volume areas of the kernel, so this
shouldn't be an issue.

There is one regmap_bulk_read() call in mpu3050_trigger_handler

Check and terminate the execution flow just like the other three
regmap_bulk_read() calls in this function.

Doing a
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_AUXV, addr, 1);
will copy 1 byte from userspace to (quite big) on-stack array
and then stash everything to mm->saved_auxv.
AT_NULL terminator will be inserted at the very end.
/proc/*/auxv handler will find that AT_NULL terminator
and copy original stack contents to userspace.
This devious scheme requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.
