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.

'clk' is copied to a userland with padding byte(s) after 'vclk_post_div'
field unitialized, leaking data from the stack. Fix this ensuring all of
'clk' is initialized to zero.

If a zero for the number of colums or rows manages to slip through,
gotoxy() will underflow vc->vc_pos, causing the next action on the
referenced memory to end with a page fault.
Make the check in vgacon_startup() more pessimistic to prevent that.

This removes the restriction on the value range of the fbcon=margin:
parameter. The color value really depends on the driver being used.

amba_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with const amba_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.

Make these const as they are only used during a copy operation.
Some structures are used as a copy operation inside __init functions, so
make them const and replace __initdata with __initconst to avoid section
conflict error.

If dlfb_usb_probe drops to error path then there is only one
kref_init() call and no kref_get(), so second kref_put() leads to
use after free.
The patch removes superfluous kref_put on dlfb_usb_probe error path.

platform_get_irq() returns an error code, but the pxa3xx_gcu driver
ignores it and always returns -ENODEV. This is not correct and,
prevents -EPROBE_DEFER from being propagated properly.
Also, notice that platform_get_irq() no longer returns 0 on error:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e330b9a6bb35dc7097a4f02cb1ae7b6f96df92af
Print and propagate the return value of platform_get_irq on failure.
This issue was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
