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

Michael Ellerman ffba19ccae lib/atomic64_test.c: add a test that atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns an int
atomic64_inc_not_zero() returns a "truth value" which in C is
traditionally an int.  That means callers are likely to expect the
result will fit in an int.

If an implementation returns a "true" value which does not fit in an
int, then there's a possibility that callers will truncate it when they
store it in an int.

In fact this happened in practice, see commit 966d2b04e0
("percpu-refcount: fix reference leak during percpu-atomic transition").

So add a test that the result fits in an int, even when the input
doesn't.  This catches the case where an implementation just passes the
non-zero input value out as the result.

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.
