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.

7441b0627e22 ("s390/pci: PCI hotplug support via SCLP") added
s390_pci_hpc.c, which included this license information:
+MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
Based on "git show 7441b0627e22:include/linux/module.h", that "GPL" string
means "GPL v2 or later":
* "GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later]
0729dcf24832 ("s390: hotplug: make pci_hpc explicitly non-modular")
subsequently replaced the MODULE_LICENSE() with a "License: GPL" comment.
Add SPDX GPL-2.0+ and remove the "License: GPL" comment, relying on the
assertion in b24413180f56 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license
identifier to files with no license") that the SPDX identifier may be used
instead of the full boilerplate text.

b24413180f56 ("License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to
files with no license") added SPDX GPL-2.0 to several PCI files that
previously contained no license information.
Add SPDX GPL-2.0 to all other PCI files that did not contain any license
information and hence were under the default GPL version 2 license of the
kernel.

This reverts commit 04e35f4495dd560db30c25efca4eecae8ec8c375.
SELinux runs with secureexec for all non-"noatsecure" domain transitions,
which means lots of processes end up hitting the stack hard-limit change
that was introduced in order to fix a race with prlimit(). That race fix
will need to be redesigned.

Pull Page Table Isolation (PTI) v4.14 backporting base tree from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree contains the v4.14 PTI backport preparatory tree, which
consists of four merges of upstream trees and 7 cherry-picked commits,
which the upcoming PTI work depends on"
NOTE! The resulting tree is exactly the same as the original base tree
(ie the diff between this commit and its immediate first parent is
empty).
The only reason for this merge is literally to have a common point for
the actual PTI changes so that the commits can be shared in both the
4.15 and 4.14 trees.

drivers/misc/intel/pti: Rename the header file to free up the namespace
[ Note, this is a Git cherry-pick of the following commit:
d17a1d97dc20: ("x86/mm/kasan: don't use vmemmap_populate() to initialize shadow")
... for easier x86 PTI code testing and back-porting. ]
The KASAN shadow is currently mapped using vmemmap_populate() since that
provides a semi-convenient way to map pages into init_top_pgt. However,
since that no longer zeroes the mapped pages, it is not suitable for
KASAN, which requires zeroed shadow memory.
Add kasan_populate_shadow() interface and use it instead of
vmemmap_populate(). Besides, this allows us to take advantage of
gigantic pages and use them to populate the shadow, which should save us
some memory wasted on page tables and reduce TLB pressure.

READ_ONCE() now has an implicit smp_read_barrier_depends() call, so it
can be used instead of lockless_dereference() without any change in
semantics.
