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 IOMMU fix from Joerg Roedel:
"Fix a boot crash caused by the VT-d driver when booted with IOMMU
disabled. This was introduced with the recent IOMMU changes"
* tag 'iommu-fix-v4.11-rc0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu:
iommu/vt-d: Fix crash on boot when DMAR is disabled
Pull seccomp fix from James Morris:
"A fix for a regression in the seccomp code (it was supposed to be in
the first pull req but I had it queued in the wrong branch)"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security:
seccomp: Only dump core when single-threaded
By default CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU_DEFAULT_ON is not set and thus
dmar_disabled variable is set.
Intel IOMMU driver based on above doesn't set intel_iommu_enabled
variable.
The commit b0119e870837 ("iommu: Introduce new 'struct iommu_device'")
mistakenly assumes it never happens and tries to unregister not ever
registered resources, which crashes the kernel at boot time:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000008
IP: iommu_device_unregister+0x31/0x60
Make unregister procedure conditional in free_iommu().

The SECCOMP_RET_KILL filter return code has always killed the current
thread, not the entire process. Changing this as a side-effect of dumping
core isn't a safe thing to do (a few test suites have already flagged this
behavioral change). Instead, restore the RET_KILL semantics, but still
dump core when a RET_KILL delivers SIGSYS to a single-threaded process.
Fixes: b25e67161c29 ("seccomp: dump core when using SECCOMP_RET_KILL")

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
- Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers, and Steven
Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up after the
discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit. It was formulated
and discussed at lkml[1].
- Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step in
sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.
The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored or
would cause a deadlock.
Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid off.
The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old problems that
were hidden before[3][4].
- Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up after a past
change.

Pull tty/serial driver updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the big tty/serial driver patchset for 4.11-rc1.
Not much here, but a lot of little fixes and individual serial driver
updates all over the subsystem. Majority are for the sh-sci driver and
platform (the arch-specific changes have acks from the maintainer).
The start of the "serial bus" code is here as well, but nothing is
converted to use it yet. That work is still ongoing, hopefully will
start to show up across different subsystems for 4.12 (bluetooth is
one major place that will be used.)
All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported
issues"
