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.

Pull copy_file_range updates from Darrick Wong:
"This fixes numerous parameter checking problems and inconsistent
behaviors in the new(ish) copy_file_range system call.
Now the system call will actually check its range parameters
correctly; refuse to copy into files for which the caller does not
have sufficient privileges; update mtime and strip setuid like file
writes are supposed to do; and allows copying up to the EOF of the
source file instead of failing the call like we used to.
Summary:
- Create a generic copy_file_range handler and make individual
filesystems responsible for calling it (i.e. no more assuming that
do_splice_direct will work or is appropriate)
- Refactor copy_file_range and remap_range parameter checking where
they are the same
- Install missing copy_file_range parameter checking(!)
- Remove suid/sgid and update mtime like any other file write
- Change the behavior so that a copy range crossing the source file's
eof will result in a short copy to the source file's eof instead of
EINVAL
- Permit filesystems to decide if they want to handle
cross-superblock copy_file_range in their local handlers"
