Linus Torvalds 3ca24ce9ff Merge branch 'proc-cmdline'
Merge proc_cmdline simplifications.

This re-writes the get_mm_cmdline() logic to be rather simpler than it
used to be, and makes the semantics for "cmdline goes past the end of
the original area" more natural.

You _can_ use prctl(PR_SET_MM) to just point your command line somewhere
else entirely, but the traditional model is to just edit things in place
and that still needs to continue to work.  At least this way the code
makes some sense.

* proc-cmdline:
  fs/proc: simplify and clarify get_mm_cmdline() function
  fs/proc: re-factor proc_pid_cmdline_read() a bit

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.
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.
