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.
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.

When xenbus_printf fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

Only gnttab_{alloc|free}_pages are exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL
while all the rest are exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL, thus
effectively making it not possible for non-GPL driver modules
to use grant table module. Export gnttab_{alloc|free}_pages as
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL so all the exports are aligned.

Use a global variable to store the start flags for both PV and PVH.
This allows the xen_initial_domain macro to work properly on PVH.
Note that ARM is also switched to use the new variable.

We don't need to share PVH GDT layout with other GDTs, especially
since we now have a PVH-speciific entry (for stack canary segment).
Define PVH's own selectors.
(As a side effect of this change we are also fixing improper
reference to __KERNEL_CS)

There's no need to store the xenstore page or event channel in
xen_start_info if they are locally initialized.
This also fixes PVH local xenstore initialization due to the lack of
xen_start_info in that case.

The method ndo_start_xmit() is defined as returning an 'netdev_tx_t',
which is a typedef for an enum type, but the implementation in this
driver returns an 'int'.
Fix this by returning 'netdev_tx_t' in this driver too.

My recent Xen patch series introduces a new HYPERVISOR_memory_op to
support direct priv-mapping of certain guest resources (such as ioreq
pages, used by emulators) by a tools domain, rather than having to access
such resources via the guest P2M.
This patch adds the necessary infrastructure to the privcmd driver and
Xen MMU code to support direct resource mapping.
NOTE: The adjustment in the MMU code is partially cosmetic. Xen will now
allow a PV tools domain to map guest pages either by GFN or MFN, thus
the term 'mfn' has been swapped for 'pfn' in the lower layers of the
remap code.

"A mixed bag of fixes and updates for the ghosts which are hunting us.
The scheduler fixes have been pulled into that branch to avoid
conflicts.
- A set of fixes to address a khread_parkme() race which caused lost
wakeups and loss of state.
- A deadlock fix for stop_machine() solved by moving the wakeups
outside of the stopper_lock held region.
- A set of Spectre V1 array access restrictions. The possible
problematic spots were discuvered by Dan Carpenters new checks in
smatch.
- Removal of an unused file which was forgotten when the rest of that
functionality was removed"
