Linux kernel modifications for the Kernel Hacking exam
fb4e3beeff
This update comes with:
* Support for lockless operation in the ARM io-pgtable code.
This is an important step to solve the scalability problems in
the common dma-iommu code for ARM
* Some Errata workarounds for ARM SMMU implemenations
* Rewrite of the deferred IO/TLB flush code in the AMD IOMMU
driver. The code suffered from very high flush rates, with the
new implementation the flush rate is down to ~1% of what it
was before
* Support for amd_iommu=off when booting with kexec. Problem
here was that the IOMMU driver bailed out early without
disabling the iommu hardware, if it was enabled in the old
kernel
* The Rockchip IOMMU driver is now available on ARM64
* Align the return value of the iommu_ops->device_group
call-backs to not miss error values
* Preempt-disable optimizations in the Intel VT-d and common
IOVA code to help Linux-RT
* Various other small cleanups and fixes

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.
