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 tty/serial fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are some serial and tty fixes for 4.12-rc3. They are a bit bigger
than normal, which is why I had them bake in linux-next for a few
weeks and didn't send them to you for -rc2.
They revert a few of the serdev patches from 4.12-rc1, and bring
things back to how they were in 4.11, to try to make things a bit more
stable there. Rob and Johan both agree that this is the way forward,
so this isn't people squabbling over semantics. Other than that, just
a few minor serial driver fixes that people have had problems with.
All of these have been in linux-next for a few weeks with no reported
issues"

Revert "tty_port: register tty ports with serdev bus"
drivers/tty: 8250: only call fintek_8250_probe when doing port I/O
Tweak the Kconfig description to mention support for NSP and make the
default on for iProc based platforms.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman:
"Fix running SPU programs on Cell, and a few other minor fixes.
Thanks to Alistair Popple, Jeremy Kerr, Michael Neuling, Nicholas
Piggin"
* tag 'powerpc-4.12-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux:
powerpc: Add PPC_FEATURE userspace bits for SCV and DARN instructions
powerpc/spufs: Fix hash faults for kernel regions
powerpc: Fix booting P9 hash with CONFIG_PPC_RADIX_MMU=N
powerpc/powernv/npu-dma.c: Fix opal_npu_destroy_context() call
selftests/powerpc: Fix TM resched DSCR test with some compilers
The driver calls ioremap() in the probe function but doesn't call
iounmap() in the remove function correspondingly. Do so now.

"A series of fixes for X86:
- The final fix for the end-of-stack issue in the unwinder
- Handle non PAT systems gracefully
- Prevent access to uninitiliazed memory
- Move early delay calaibration after basic init
- Fix Kconfig help text
- Fix a cross compile issue
- Unbreak older make versions"

Revert "x86/entry: Fix the end of the stack for newly forked tasks"
x86/boot: Use CROSS_COMPILE prefix for readelf
Providing "scv" support to userspace requires kernel support, so it
must be advertised as independently to the base ISA 3 instruction set.
The darn instruction relies on firmware enablement, so it has been
decided to split this out from the core ISA 3 feature as well.

Commit e61c38d85b73 ("serial: imx: setup DCEDTE early and ensure DCD and
RI irqs to be off") has a flaw: While UCR3 and UFCR were modified using
read-modify-write before it switched to write register values
independent of the previous state. That's a good idea in principle (and
that's why I did it) but needs more care.
This patch reinstates read-modify-write for UFCR and for UCR3 ensures
that RXDMUXSEL and ADNIMP are set for post imx1.

This ensures that adjustments to x86_platform done by the hypervisor
setup is already respected by this simple calibration.
The current user of this, introduced by 1b5aeebf3a92 ("x86/earlyprintk:

into play.

Commit ac29c64089b7 ("powerpc/mm: Replace _PAGE_USER with
_PAGE_PRIVILEGED") swapped _PAGE_USER for _PAGE_PRIVILEGED, and
introduced check_pte_access() which denied kernel access to
non-_PAGE_PRIVILEGED pages.
However, it didn't add _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to the hash fault handler
for spufs' kernel accesses, so the DMAs required to establish SPE
memory no longer work.
This change adds _PAGE_PRIVILEGED to the hash fault handler for
kernel accesses.
