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.

This adds a perl script to actually parse the MAINTAINERS file, clean up
some whitespace in it, warn about errors in it, and then properly sort
the end result.
My perl-fu is atrocious, so the script has basically been created by
randomly putting various characters in a pile, mixing them around, and
then looking it the end result does anything interesting when used as a
perl script.

Prepping for scripting the MAINTAINERS file cleanup (and possible split)
showed a couple of cases where the headers for a couple of entries were
bogus.
There's a few different kinds of bogosities:
- the X-GENE SOC EDAC case was confused and split over two lines
- there were four entries for "GREYBUS PROTOCOLS DRIVERS" that were all
different things.
- the NOKIA N900 CAMERA SUPPORT" was duplicated
all of which were more obvious when you started doing associative arrays
in perl to track these things by the header (so that we can alphabetize
this thing properly, and so that we might split it up by the data too).

hwmon: (applesmc) Avoid buffer overruns
When setting up the Xenstore watch for the memory target size the new
watch will fire at once. Don't try to reach the configured target size
by onlining new memory in this case, as the current memory size will
be smaller in almost all cases due to e.g. BIOS reserved pages.
Onlining new memory will lead to more problems e.g. undesired conflicts
with NVMe devices meant to be operated as block devices.
Instead remember the difference between target size and current size
when the watch fires for the first time and apply it to any further
size changes, too.
In order to avoid races between balloon.c and xen-balloon.c init calls
do the xen-balloon.c initialization from balloon.c.

"Here are some small tty and serial driver fixes for 4.13-rc2. Nothing
huge at all, a revert of a patch that turned out to break things, a

definition correct, and a few minor serial driver fixes for reported

Fix the problem by using scnprintf() instead of sprintf() throughout the
driver. Also explicitly limit the number of supported fans to avoid actual
buffer overruns and thus invalid keys.

Commit dc6416f1d711eb4c1726e845d653235dcaae12e1 ("xen/x86: Call
cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE) from xen_play_dead()")
introduced an error leading to a stack overflow of the idle task when
a cpu was brought offline/online many times: by calling
cpu_startup_entry() instead of returning at the end of xen_play_dead()
do_idle() would be entered again and again.
Don't use cpu_startup_entry(), but cpuhp_online_idle() instead allowing
to return from xen_play_dead().

This ioctl does nothing to justify an _IOC_READ or _IOC_WRITE flag
because it doesn't copy anything from/to userspace to access the
argument.

log a message when we enter this situation:
1) we already allocated the max number of available grants from hypervisor
and
2) we still need more (but the request fails because of 1)).
Sometimes the lack of grants causes IO hangs in xen_blkfront devices.
Adding this log would help debuging.
