Linus Torvalds 0edab8d132 ring-buffer: Fix for 6.12
- Do not have boot-mapped buffers use CPU hotplug callbacks
 
   When a ring buffer is mapped to memory assigned at boot, it
   also splits it up evenly between the possible CPUs. But the
   allocation code still attached a CPU notifier callback to this
   ring buffer. When a CPU is added, the callback will happen and
   another per-cpu buffer is created for the ring buffer. But for
   boot mapped buffers, there is no room to add another one (as
   they were all created already). The result of calling the CPU
   hotplug notifier on a boot mapped ring buffer is unpredictable
   and could lead to a system crash. If the ring buffer is boot mapped
   simply do not attach the CPU notifier to it.

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 reStructuredText 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.
