Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
57902dc067
This tag contains a pair of bug fixes that I'd like to include in 5.0:
* A fix to disambiguate swap from invalid PTEs, which fixes an error
when trying to unmap PROT_NONE pages.
* A revert to an optimization of the size of flat binaries. This is
really a workaround to prevent breaking existing boot flows, but since
the change was introduced as part of the 5.0 merge window I'd like to
have the fix in before 5.0 so we can avoid a regression for any proper
releases.
With these I hope we're out of patches for 5.0 in RISC-V land.

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.
