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 some more input subsystem updates from Dmitry Torokhov:
"An updated xpad driver with a few more recognized device IDs, and a
new psxpad-spi driver, allowing connecting Playstation 1 and 2 joypads
via SPI bus"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input:
Input: cros_ec_keyb - remove extraneous 'const'
Input: add support for PlayStation 1/2 joypads connected via SPI
Input: xpad - add USB IDs for Mad Catz Brawlstick and Razer Sabertooth
Input: xpad - sync supported devices with xboxdrv
Input: xpad - sort supported devices by USB ID
Pull UBI/UBIFS updates from Richard Weinberger:
- new config option CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_SECURITY
- minor improvements
- random fixes
* tag 'upstream-4.12-rc1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs:
ubi: Add debugfs file for tracking PEB state
ubifs: Fix a typo in comment of ioctl2ubifs & ubifs2ioctl
ubifs: Remove unnecessary assignment
ubifs: Fix cut and paste error on sb type comparisons
ubi: fastmap: Fix slab corruption
ubifs: Add CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_SECURITY to disable/enable security labels
ubi: Make mtd parameter readable
ubi: Fix section mismatch
gcc-7 warns about 'const SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS', as that macro already contains
a 'const' keyword:
drivers/input/keyboard/cros_ec_keyb.c:663:14: error: duplicate 'const' declaration specifier [-Werror=duplicate-decl-specifier]
static const SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS(cros_ec_keyb_pm_ops, NULL, cros_ec_keyb_resume);
This removes the extra one.

Pull UML fixes from Richard Weinberger:
"No new stuff, just fixes"
* 'for-linus-4.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rw/uml:
um: Add missing NR_CPUS include
um: Fix to call read_initrd after init_bootmem
um: Include kbuild.h instead of duplicating its macros
um: Fix PTRACE_POKEUSER on x86_64
um: Set number of CPUs
um: Fix _print_addr()
Add a file under debugfs to allow easy access to the erase count for
each physical erase block on an UBI device. This is useful when
debugging data integrity issues with UBIFS on NAND flash devices.

v2:
* If ubi_io_is_bad eraseblk_count_seq_show just returns the err.
* if ubi->lookuptbl returns null, its no longer treated as an error
instead info for that block is not printeded
* Removed check for UBI_MAX_ERASECOUNTER since it is impossible to hit
* Removed block state from print, if a block is printed then it is good and
if it is not printed, then it is bad.
v3:
* Remove errant ! symbol from if statement checking if erase count is valid.

seems abandoned.

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.
These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The
set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot"

Since read_initrd() invokes alloc_bootmem() for allocating
memory to load initrd image, it must be called after init_bootmem.
This makes read_initrd() called directly from setup_arch()
after init_bootmem() and mem_total_pages().
