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.

sign_extend32 counts the sign bit parameter from 0, not from 1. So we
have to use "11" for 12th bit, not "12".
This mistake means we have not allowed negative op and cmp args since
commit 30d6e0a4190d ("futex: Remove duplicated code and fix undefined
behaviour") till now.

Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
"This contains a few fixes (error handling, quota leak, FUA vs
nobarrier mount option).
There's one one worth mentioning separately - an off-by-one fix that
leads to overwriting first byte of an adjacent page with 0, out of
bounds of the memory allocated by an ioctl. This is under a privileged
part of the ioctl, can be triggerd in some subvolume layouts"

Pull ARM SoC fixes from Olof Johansson:
- A revert of all SCPI changes from the 4.15 merge window. They had
regressions on the Amlogic platforms, and the submaintainer isn't
around to fix these bugs due to vacation, etc. So we agreed to revert
and revisit in next release cycle.
- A series fixing a number of bugs for ARM CCN interconnect, around
module unload, smp_processor_id() in preemptable context, and fixing
some memory allocation failure checks.
- A handful of devicetree fixes for different platforms, fixing
warnings and errors that were previously ignored by the compiler.
- The usual set of mostly minor fixes for different platforms.

The name char array passed to btrfs_search_path_in_tree is of size
BTRFS_INO_LOOKUP_PATH_MAX (4080). So the actual accessible char indexes
are in the range of [0, 4079]. Currently the code uses the define but this
represents an off-by-one.
Implications:
Size of btrfs_ioctl_ino_lookup_args is 4096, so the new byte will be
written to extra space, not some padding that could be provided by the
allocator.
btrfs-progs store the arguments on stack, but kernel does own copy of
the ioctl buffer and the off-by-one overwrite does not affect userspace,
but the ending 0 might be lost.
Kernel ioctl buffer is allocated dynamically so we're overwriting
somebody else's memory, and the ioctl is privileged if args.objectid is
not 256. Which is in most cases, but resolving a subvolume stored in
another directory will trigger that path.
Before this patch the buffer was one byte larger, but then the -1 was
not added.

I was seeing disk flushes still happening when I mounted a Btrfs
filesystem with nobarrier for testing. This is because we use FUA to
write out the first super block, and on devices without FUA support, the
block layer translates FUA to a flush. Even on devices supporting true
FUA, using FUA when we asked for no barriers is surprising.

Assorted fixes for keyrings, ASN.1, X.509 and PKCS#7.
Implementation of the unpinned APIC page didn't update the VMCS address
cache when invalidation was done through range mmu notifiers.
This became a problem when the page notifier was removed.
Re-introduce the arch-specific helper and call it from ...range_start.
