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.

When G2_DMA is enabled and SH_DMA is disabled, it results in the following
Kbuild warning:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for SH_DMA_API
Depends on [n]: SH_DMA [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- G2_DMA [=y] && SH_DREAMCAST [=y]
The reason is that G2_DMA selects SH_DMA_API without depending on or
selecting SH_DMA while SH_DMA_API depends on SH_DMA.
When G2_DMA was first introduced with commit 40f49e7ed77f
("sh: dma: Make G2 DMA configurable."), this wasn't an issue since
SH_DMA_API didn't have such dependency, and this way was the only way to
enable it since SH_DMA_API was non-visible. However, later SH_DMA_API was
made visible and dependent on SH_DMA with commit d8902adcc1a9
("dmaengine: sh: Add Support SuperH DMA Engine driver").
Let G2_DMA depend on SH_DMA_API instead to avoid Kbuild issues.
Fixes: d8902adcc1a9 ("dmaengine: sh: Add Support SuperH DMA Engine driver")

Since commit 36e2c7421f02 ("fs: don't allow splice read/write without
explicit ops") we've required that file operation structures explicitly
enable splice support, rather than falling back to the default handlers.
Most /proc files use the indirect 'struct proc_ops' to describe their
file operations, and were fixed up to support splice earlier in commits
40be821d627c..b24c30c67863, but the mountinfo files interact with the
VFS directly using their own 'struct file_operations' and got missed as
a result.
This adds the necessary support for splice to work for /proc/*/mountinfo
and friends.
