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 reStructuredText 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.

Depmod fails for a kernel made with:
make allnoconfig
echo -e "CONFIG_MODULES=y\nCONFIG_SERIAL_8250=m\nCONFIG_SERIAL_8250_EXTENDED=y\nCONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RSA=y" >> .config
make olddefconfig
...due to a dependency loop:
depmod: ERROR: Cycle detected: 8250 -> 8250_base -> 8250
depmod: ERROR: Found 2 modules in dependency cycles!
This is caused by the move of 8250 RSA code from 8250_port.c (in
8250_base.ko) into 8250_rsa.c (in 8250.ko) by the commit 5a128fb475fb
("serial: 8250: move RSA functions to 8250_rsa.c"). The commit
b20d6576cdb3 ("serial: 8250: export RSA functions") tried to fix a
missing symbol issue with EXPORTs but those then cause this dependency
cycle.
Break dependency loop by moving 8250_rsa.o from 8250.ko to 8250_base.ko
and by passing univ8250_port_base_ops to univ8250_rsa_support() that
can make a local copy of it.

devm_pm_runtime_enable() can fail due to memory allocation.

Check for returned DMA addresses using specialized dma_mapping_error()
helper which is generally recommended for this purpose by
Documentation/core-api/dma-api.rst:
"In some circumstances dma_map_single(), ...
will fail to create a mapping. A driver can check for these errors
by testing the returned DMA address with dma_mapping_error()."
Found via static analysis and this is similar to commit fa0308134d26

The MOST subsystem has a non-standard registration function which frees
the interface on registration failures and on deregistration.
This unsurprisingly leads to bugs in the MOST drivers, and a couple of
recent changes turned a reference underflow and use-after-free in the
USB driver into several double free and a use-after-free on late probe
failures.
