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.

Three of them are binder driver fixes for reported issues, and the
last one is a hyperv driver bugfix. Nothing major, but good fixes to
get into 4.14-final.
All of these have been in linux-next with no reported issues"

android: binder: Fix null ptr dereference in debug msg
android: binder: Don't get mm from task
vmbus: hvsock: add proper sync for vmbus_hvsock_device_unregister()
binder: call poll_wait() unconditionally.
The previous commit (0adbfd46) fixed a memory leak but also freed a
block in the success case, causing a stale pointer to be used with
potentially fatal results. Only free the vchi_instance block in the
case that vchi_connect fails; once connected, the instance is
retained for subsequent connections.
Simplifying the code by removing a bunch of gotos and returning errors
directly.

Second set of IIO fixes for the 4.14 cycle.
* ade7759
- Fix a signed extension bug.
* as3935
- The default noise and watch dog settings were such that the device
was unusuable in most applications. Add device tree parameters to
allow it to be configured to something that will actually work.
* at91-sama5d2 adc
- Fix handling of legacy device trees that don't provide the new
trigger edge property.
* dln2-adc
- Fix a missing Kconfig dependency on IIO_TRIGGERED_BUFFER.
* dummy driver
- Add a missing break so that writing in_voltage0_thresh_rising_en
doesn't always result in an error.
* zpa2326
- Drop a test for an always true condition so that gcc won't spit out
and unused variable warning.
Pull input fix from Dmitry Torokhov:
"A fix for a broken commit in the previous pull breaking automatic
module loading of input handlers, such ad evdev"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input:
Input: do not use property bits when generating module alias
If the connect status change is set during reset signaling, but
the status remains connected just retry port reset.
This solves an issue with connecting a 90W HP Thunderbolt 3 dock
with a Lenovo Carbon x1 (5th generation) which causes a 30min loop
of a high speed device being re-discovererd before usb ports starts
working.
[...]
[ 389.023845] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 55 using xhci_hcd
[ 389.491841] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 56 using xhci_hcd
[ 389.959928] usb 3-1: new high-speed USB device number 57 using xhci_hcd
[...]
This is caused by a high speed device that doesn't successfully go to the
enabled state after the second port reset. Instead the connection bounces
(connected, with connect status change), bailing out completely from
enumeration just to restart from scratch.

Use binder_alloc struct's mm_struct rather than getting
a reference to the mm struct through get_task_mm to
avoid a potential deadlock between lru lock, task lock and
dentry lock, since a thread can be holding the task lock
and the dentry lock while trying to acquire the lru lock.

This fix allows platforms to probe correctly even if the
trigger edge property is missing. The hardware trigger
will no longer be registered in the sybsystem
Preserves backwards compatibility with the support that
was in the driver before the hardware trigger.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of fixes addressing the following issues:
- The last polishing for the TLB code, removing the last BUG_ON() and
the debug file along with tidying up the lazy TLB code.
- Prevent triple fault on 1st Gen. 486 caused by stupidly calling the
early IDT setup after the first function which causes a fault which
should be caught by the exception table.
- Limit the mmap of /dev/mem to valid addresses
- Prevent late microcode loading on Broadwell X
- Remove a redundant assignment in the cache info code"
* 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
x86/mm: Limit mmap() of /dev/mem to valid physical addresses
x86/mm: Remove debug/x86/tlb_defer_switch_to_init_mm
x86/mm: Tidy up "x86/mm: Flush more aggressively in lazy TLB mode"
x86/mm/64: Remove the last VM_BUG_ON() from the TLB code
x86/microcode/intel: Disable late loading on model 79
x86/idt: Initialize early IDT before cr4_init_shadow()
x86/cpu/intel_cacheinfo: Remove redundant assignment to 'this_leaf'
The commit 8724ecb07229 ("Input: allow matching device IDs on property
bits") started using property bits when generating module aliases for input
handlers, but did not adjust the generation of MODALIAS attribute on input
device uevents, breaking automatic module loading. Given that no handler
currently uses property bits in their module tables, let's revert this part
of the commit for now.
