This does the simple pattern conversion of alpha, arc, csky, hexagon, loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa to the lock_mm_and_find_vma() helper. They all have the regular fault handling pattern without odd special cases. The remaining architectures all have something that keeps us from a straightforward conversion: ia64 and parisc have stacks that can grow both up as well as down (and ia64 has special address region checks). And m68k, microblaze, openrisc, sparc64, and um end up having extra rules about only expanding the stack down a limited amount below the user space stack pointer. That is something that x86 used to do too (long long ago), and it probably could just be skipped, but it still makes the conversion less than trivial. Note that this conversion was done manually and with the exception of alpha without any build testing, because I have a fairly limited cross- building environment. The cases are all simple, and I went through the changes several times, but... Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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.
