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 tracing fix from Steven Rostedt:
"Wei Yongjun fixed a long standing bug in the ring buffer startup test.
If for some unknown reason, the kthread that is created fails to be
created, the return from kthread_create() is an PTR_ERR and not a
NULL. The test incorrectly checks for NULL instead of an error"

In case of error, the function kthread_run() returns ERR_PTR()
and never returns NULL. The NULL test in the return value check
should be replaced with IS_ERR().

For SPI, we can get up to 32 additional bytes for response preamble.
The current overhead (2 bytes) may cause problems when we try to receive
a big response. Update it to 32 bytes.
Without this fix we could see a kernel BUG when we receive a big response
from the Chrome EC when is connected via SPI.

Currently the reordering SNMP counters only increase if a connection
sees a higher degree then it has previously seen. It ignores if the
reordering degree is not greater than the default system threshold.
This significantly under-counts the number of reordering events
and falsely convey that reordering is rare on the network.
This patch properly and faithfully records the number of reordering
events detected by the TCP stack, just like the comment says "this
exciting event is worth to be remembered". Note that even so TCP
still under-estimate the actual reordering events because TCP
requires TS options or certain packet sequences to detect reordering
(i.e. ACKing never-retransmitted sequence in recovery or disordered
state).

Pull late GPIO fixes from Linus Walleij:
"Some late coming ACPI fixes for GPIO.
We're dealing with ACPI issues here. The first is related to wake IRQs
on Bay Trail/Cherry Trail CPUs which are common in laptops. The second
is about proper probe deferral when reading _CRS properties.
For my untrained eye it seems there was some quarrel between the BIOS
and the kernel about who is supposed to deal with wakeups from GPIO
lines"

When building the kernel with clang, the compiler complains about the
presence of a condition inside two pairs of parentheses:

extraneous parentheses [-Werror,-Wparentheses-equality]

around the comparison to silence this warning

comparison into an assignment
