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.

We have lots of dead defines and macros in drivers, lets offer users a way
to detect and eventually remove them.

Kbuild conventionally uses $(shell cd ... && /bin/pwd) idiom to get
the absolute path of the directory because GNU Make 3.80, the minimal
supported version at that time, did not support $(abspath ...) or
$(realpath ...).
Commit 37d69ee30808 ("docs: bump minimal GNU Make version to 3.81")
dropped the GNU Make 3.80 support, so we are now allowed to use those
make-builtin helpers.
This conversion will provide better portability without relying on
the pwd command or its location /bin/pwd.
I am intentionally using $(realpath ...) instead $(abspath ...) in
some places. The difference between the two is $(realpath ...)
returns an empty string if the given path does not exist. It is
convenient in places where we need to error-out if the makefile fails
to create an output directory.

ext4: correct comment references to ext4_ext_direct_IO()
This fixes a problem where the system gets stuck in a loop
unable to wakeup via power button in s2idle.
The problem happens because:
- press power button:
- system emits 0xc0 (power press), event ignored
- system emits 0xc1 (power release), event processed,
emited as KEY_POWER
- set wakeup_mode to true
- system goes to s2idle
- press power button
- system emits 0xc0 (power press), wakeup_mode is true,
system wakes
- system emits 0xc1 (power release), event processed,
emited as KEY_POWER
- system goes to s2idle again
To avoid this situation, process the presses (which matches what
intel-hid does too).

When I converted dell-wmi to the new bus infrastructure, I left the
call to dell_wmi_check_descriptor_buffer() in dell_wmi_init(). This
could cause two problems:
- An error message when loading the driver on a system without
dell-wmi. We'd try to read the event descriptor even if the WMI
GUID wasn't there.
- A possible race if dell-wmi was loaded manually before wmi was
fully initialized.
Fix it by moving the call to the probe function where it belongs.

The latest change of compat_sys_sigpending in commit 8f13621abced
("sigpending(): move compat to native") has broken it in two ways.
First, it tries to write 4 bytes more than userspace expects:
sizeof(old_sigset_t) == sizeof(long) == 8 instead of
sizeof(compat_old_sigset_t) == sizeof(u32) == 4.
Second, on big endian architectures these bytes are being written in the
wrong order.
This bug was found by strace test suite.
