This Kselftest fixes update for Linux 5.17-rc3 consists of important
fixes to several tests and documentation clarification on running
mainline kselftest on stable releases. A few notable fixes:
- fix kselftest run hang due to child processes that haven't been
terminated. Fix signals all child processes
- fix false pass/fail results from vdso_test_abi, openat2, mincore
- build failures when using -j (multiple jobs) option
- exec test build failure due to incorrect build rule for a run-time
created "pipe"
- zram test fixes related to interaction with zram-generator to
make sure zram test to coordinate deleted with zram-generator
- zram test compression ratio calculation fix and skipping
max_comp_streams.
- increasing rtc test timeout
- cpufreq test to write test results to stdout which will necessary on
automated test systems

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.
