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.

Add the missing error handling when allocating the transmit buffer to
avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer in write() should the allocation
ever fail.

Registration of the ipoctal tty devices is unlikely to fail, but if it
ever does, make sure not to deregister a never registered tty device
(and dereference a NULL pointer) when the driver is later unbound.

Make sure to set the tty class-device driver data before registering the
tty to avoid having a racing open() dereference a NULL pointer.

The tty driver name is used also after registering the driver and must
specifically not be allocated on the stack to avoid leaking information
to user space (or triggering an oops).
Drivers should not try to encode topology information in the tty device
name but this one snuck in through staging without anyone noticing and
another driver has since copied this malpractice.
Fixing the ABI is a separate issue, but this at least plugs the security
hole.

interconnect fixes for v5.15
This contains a few fixes for the sdm660 driver:
- sdm660: Fix id of slv_cnoc_mnoc_cfg
- sdm660: Correct NOC_QOS_PRIORITY shift and mask
- sdm660: Add missing a2noc qos clocks

It adds the missing a2noc clocks required for QoS registers programming
per downstream kernel[1]. Otherwise, qcom_icc_noc_set_qos_priority()
call on mas_ufs or mas_usb_hs node will simply result in a hardware hang
on SDM660 SoC.

- remove follow symlinks support

writing ppt or doc files from some clients
- logging more clearly that ksmbd is experimental (at module load
time)"

The NOC_QOS_PRIORITY shift and mask do not match what vendor kernel
defines [1]. Correct them per vendor kernel. As the result of
NOC_QOS_PRIORITY_P0_SHIFT being 0, the definition can be dropped and
regmap_update_bits() call on P0 can be simplified a bit.
