Linus Torvalds b6ea7bcf77 This fixes kprobes/uprobes dynamic processing of strings, where
it processes the args but does not update the remaining length
 of the buffer that the string arguments will be placed in. It
 constantly passes in the total size of buffer used instead of
 passing in the remaining size of the buffer used. This could cause
 issues if the strings are larger than the max size of an event
 which could cause the strings to be written beyond what was reserved
 on the buffer.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
