Linus Torvalds 4b01285e16 Merge branch 'uaccess.csum' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs
Pull uaccess/csum updates from Al Viro:
 "Regularize the sitation with uaccess checksum primitives:

   - fold csum_partial_... into csum_and_copy_..._user()

   - on x86 collapse several access_ok()/stac()/clac() into
     user_access_begin()/user_access_end()"

* 'uaccess.csum' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  default csum_and_copy_to_user(): don't bother with access_ok()
  take the dummy csum_and_copy_from_user() into net/checksum.h
  arm: switch to csum_and_copy_from_user()
  sh32: convert to csum_and_copy_from_user()
  m68k: convert to csum_and_copy_from_user()
  xtensa: switch to providing csum_and_copy_from_user()
  sparc: switch to providing csum_and_copy_from_user()
  parisc: turn csum_partial_copy_from_user() into csum_and_copy_from_user()
  alpha: turn csum_partial_copy_from_user() into csum_and_copy_from_user()
  ia64: turn csum_partial_copy_from_user() into csum_and_copy_from_user()
  ia64: csum_partial_copy_nocheck(): don't abuse csum_partial_copy_from_user()
  x86: switch 32bit csum_and_copy_to_user() to user_access_{begin,end}()
  x86: switch both 32bit and 64bit to providing csum_and_copy_from_user()
  x86_64: csum_..._copy_..._user(): switch to unsafe_..._user()
  get rid of csum_partial_copy_to_user()

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.
