- Add support for stackleak feature. Also allow specifying architecture-specific stackleak poison function to enable faster implementation. On s390, the mvc-based implementation helps decrease typical overhead from a factor of 3 to just 25% - Convert all assembler files to use SYM* style macros, deprecating the ENTRY() macro and other annotations. Select ARCH_USE_SYM_ANNOTATIONS - Improve KASLR to also randomize module and special amode31 code base load addresses - Rework decompressor memory tracking to support memory holes and improve error handling - Add support for protected virtualization AP binding - Add support for set_direct_map() calls - Implement set_memory_rox() and noexec module_alloc() - Remove obsolete overriding of mem*() functions for KASAN - Rework kexec/kdump to avoid using nodat_stack to call purgatory - Convert the rest of the s390 code to use flexible-array member instead of a zero-length array - Clean up uaccess inline asm - Enable ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE - Convert to using CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and enable DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B - Resolve last_break in userspace fault reports - Simplify one-level sysctl registration - Clean up branch prediction handling - Rework CPU counter facility to retrieve available counter sets just once - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEE3QHqV+H2a8xAv27vjYWKoQLXFBgFAmRM8pwACgkQjYWKoQLX FBjV1AgAlvAhu1XkwOdwqdT4GqE8pcN4XXzydog1MYihrSO2PdgWAxpEW7o2QURN W+3xa6RIqt7nX2YBiwTanMZ12TYaFY7noGl3eUpD/NhueprweVirVl7VZUEuRoW/ j0mbx77xsVzLfuDFxkpVwE6/j+tTO78kLyjUHwcN9rFVUaL7/orJneDJf+V8fZG0 sHLOv0aljF7Jr2IIkw82lCmW/vdk7k0dACWMXK2kj1H3dIK34B9X4AdKDDf/WKXk /OSElBeZ93tSGEfNDRIda6iR52xocROaRnQAaDtargKFl9VO0/dN9ADxO+SLNHjN pFE/9VD6xT/xo4IuZZh/Z3TcYfiLvA== =Geqx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 's390-6.4-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik: - Add support for stackleak feature.

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.
