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 char/misc driver fixes from Greg KH:
"Here are 4 patches to resolve some char/misc driver issues found these
past weeks.
One of them is a mei bugfix and another is a new mei device id. There
is also a hyper-v fix for a reported issue, and a binder issue fix for
a problem reported by a few people.
All of these have been in my tree for a while, I don't know if
linux-next is really testing much this month. But 0-day is happy with
them :)"

User-space normally keeps the node alive when creating a transaction
since it has a reference to the target. The local strong ref keeps it
alive if the sending process dies before the target process processes
the transaction. If the source process is malicious or has a reference
counting bug, this can fail.
In this case, when we attempt to decrement the node in the failure
path, the node has already been freed.
This is fixed by taking a tmpref on the node while constructing
the transaction. To avoid re-acquiring the node lock and inner
proc lock to increment the proc's tmpref, a helper is used that
does the ref increments on both the node and proc.

USB: fixes for v4.14-rc5
A deadlock fix in dummy-hcd; Fixing a use-after-free bug in composite;
Renesas got another fix for DMA programming (this time around a fix
for receiving ZLP); Tegra PHY got a suspend fix; A memory leak on our
configfs ABI got plugged.
Other than these, a couple other minor fixes on usbtest.
This patch addresses the following bugs in the current rescind handling code:
1. Fixes a race condition where we may be invoking hv_process_channel_removal()
on an already freed channel.
2. Prevents indefinite wait when rescinding sub-channels by correctly setting
the probe_complete state.
I would like to thank Dexuan for patiently reviewing earlier versions of this
patch and identifying many of the issues fixed here.
Greg, please apply this to 4.14-final.

lead to deadlocks.

USB-serial fixes for v4.14-rc5
Here's a fix for a cp210x regression that prevented a class of devices
from being successfully probed. Two use-after-free bugs in the console
code are also fixed.
Included are also some new device ids.
All but the last three commits have been in linux-next with no reported
issues.
If the usbtest driver encounters a device with an IN bulk endpoint but
no OUT bulk endpoint, it will try to dereference a NULL pointer
(out->desc.bEndpointAddress). The problem can be solved by adding a
missing test.

Pull scheduler fixes from Ingo Molnar:
"Three fixes that address an SMP balancing performance regression"

sched/core: Ensure load_balance() respects the active_mask
sched/core: Address more wake_affine() regressions
sched/core: Fix wake_affine() performance regression
On CPUs like AMD's Geode, for example, we shouldn't even try to load
microcode because they do not support the modern microcode loading
interface.
However, we do the family check *after* the other checks whether the
loader has been disabled on the command line or whether we're running in
a guest.
So move the family checks first in order to exit early if we're being
loaded on an unsupported family.
