Linus Torvalds 41daf06ea1 linux_kselftest-kunit-6.8-rc1
This KUnit update for Linux 6.8-rc1 consists of:
 
 - a new feature that adds APIs for managing devices introducing
   a set of helper functions which allow devices (internally a
   struct kunit_device) to be created and managed by KUnit.
   These devices will be automatically unregistered on
   test exit. These helpers can either use a user-provided
   struct device_driver, or have one automatically created and
   managed by KUnit. In both cases, the device lives on a new
   kunit_bus.
 
 - changes to switch drm/tests to use kunit devices
 
 - several fixes and enhancements to attribute feature
 
 - changes to reorganize deferred action function introducing
   KUNIT_DEFINE_ACTION_WRAPPER
 
 - new feature adds ability to run tests after boot using debugfs
 
 - fixes and enhancements to string-stream-test:
   - parse ERR_PTR in string_stream_destroy()
   - unchecked dereference in bug fix in debugfs_print_results()
   - handling errors from alloc_string_stream()
   - NULL-dereference bug fix in kunit_init_suite()

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.
