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.

Pull CIFS fixes from Steve French:
"This is a set of CIFS/SMB3 fixes for stable.
There is another set of four SMB3 reconnect fixes for stable in
progress but they are still being reviewed/tested, so didn't want to
wait any longer to send these five below"
* 'for-next' of git://git.samba.org/sfrench/cifs-2.6:
Reset TreeId to zero on SMB2 TREE_CONNECT
CIFS: Fix build failure with smb2
Introduce cifs_copy_file_range()
SMB3: Rename clone_range to copychunk_range
Handle mismatched open calls
Pull ARM fixes from Russell King:
"A number of ARM fixes:
- prevent oopses caused by dma_get_sgtable() and declared DMA
coherent memory
- fix boot failure on nommu caused by ID_PFR1 access
- a number of kprobes fixes from Jon Medhurst and Masami Hiramatsu"
* 'fixes' of git://git.armlinux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm:
ARM: 8665/1: nommu: access ID_PFR1 only if CPUID scheme
ARM: dma-mapping: disallow dma_get_sgtable() for non-kernel managed memory
arm: kprobes: Align stack to 8-bytes in test code
arm: kprobes: Fix the return address of multiple kretprobes
arm: kprobes: Skip single-stepping in recursing path if possible
arm: kprobes: Allow to handle reentered kprobe on single-stepping
Currently the cifs module breaks the CIFS specs on reconnect as
described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc246529.aspx:
"TreeId (4 bytes): Uniquely identifies the tree connect for the
command. This MUST be 0 for the SMB2 TREE_CONNECT Request."

Pull driver core fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are 3 small fixes for 4.11-rc6.
One resolves a reported issue with sysfs files that NeilBrown found,
one is a documenatation fix for the stable kernel rules, and the last
is a small MAINTAINERS file update for kernfs"

Greg upon trying to boot no-MMU Kernel on ARM926EJ reported boot
failure. He root caused it to ID_PFR1 access introduced by the
commit mentioned in the fixes tag below.
All CP15 processors need not have processor feature registers, only
for architectures defined by CPUID scheme would have it. Hence check
for it before accessing processor feature register, ID_PFR1.

kprobes test cases need to have a stack that is aligned to an 8-byte
boundary because they call other functions (and the ARM ABI mandates
that alignment) and because test cases include 64-bit accesses to the
stack. Unfortunately, GCC doesn't ensure this alignment for inline
assembler and for the code in question seems to always misalign it by
pushing just the LR register onto the stack. We therefore need to
explicitly perform stack alignment at the start of each test case.
Without this fix, some test cases will generate alignment faults on
systems where alignment is enforced. Even if the kernel is configured to
handle these faults in software, triggering them is ugly. It also
exposes limitations in the fault handling code which doesn't cope with
writes to the stack. E.g. when handling this instruction
strd r6, [sp, #-64]!
the fault handling code will write to a stack location below the SP
value at the point the fault occurred, which coincides with where the
exception handler has pushed the saved register context. This results in
corruption of those registers.

The earlier changes to copy range for cifs unintentionally disabled the more
common form of server side copy.
The patch introduces the file_operations helper cifs_copy_file_range()
which is used by the syscall copy_file_range. The new file operations
helper allows us to perform server side copies for SMB2.0 and 2.1
servers as well as SMB 3.0+ servers which do not support the ioctl
FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE.
The new helper uses the ioctl FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK_WRITE to perform
server side copies. The helper is called by vfs_copy_file_range() only
once an attempt to clone the file using the ioctl
FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE has failed.

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has
FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be
lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file.
Comment From Greg Hackmann:
ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing
shmem file. 91360b02ab48 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed
this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS
layer call. This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so
without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.
Fixes: 91360b02ab48 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()")
