Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

Linus Torvalds 858f45bff3 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "The highlights include:

   - numerous target-core-user improvements related to queue full and
     timeout handling. (MNC)

   - prevent target-core-user corruption when invalid data page is
     requested. (MNC)

   - add target-core device action configfs attributes to allow
     user-space to trigger events separate from existing attributes
     exposed to end-users. (MNC)

   - fix iscsi-target NULL pointer dereference 4.6+ regression in CHAP
     error path. (David Disseldorp)

   - avoid target-core backend UNMAP callbacks if range is zero. (Andrei
     Vagin)

   - fix a iscsi-target 4.14+ regression related multiple PDU logins,
     that was exposed due to removal of TCP prequeue support. (Florian
     Westphal + MNC)

  Also, there is a iser-target bug still being worked on for post -rc1
  code to address a long standing issue resulting in persistent
  ib_post_send() failures, for RNICs with small max_send_sge"

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.
