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

Robin Murphy e9c112c94b perf/arm-cci: Untangle global cci_ctrl_base
Depending directly on the bus driver's global cci_ctrl_base variable
is a little unpleasant, and exporting it to allow the PMU driver to
be modular would be even more so. Let's make things a little better
abstracted by adding the control register block to the cci_pmu instance
data alongside the PMU register block, and communicating the mapped
address from the bus driver via platform data.

It's not practical to try the same thing for the bus driver itself,
given that the globals are entangled with the hairy assembly code for
port control, so we leave them be there. It would however be prudent
to move them to the __ro_after_init section in passing, since the
addresses really should never be changing once set.

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.
