Linus Torvalds 4c7b63a32d linux-kselftest-5.2-rc1-2
This kselftest second update for Linux 5.2-rc1 consists of
 
 Kselftest framework fixes from Shuah Khan
 
 - kselftest framework bpf build/test workflow regression fix
 - Fix to kselftest install to use default install path
 - Fix to kselftest KBUILD_OUTPUT builds to not clutter main
   KBUILD_OUTPUT directory with selftest objects
 
 - .gitignore fixes from Kelsey Skunberg
 
 - rseq selftests updates from Mathieu Desnoyers and Martin Schwidefsky:
 
   They change the per-architecture pre-abort signatures to ensure those
   are valid trap instructions.
 
   The way exit points are presented to debuggers is enhanced, ensuring
   all exit points are present, so debuggers don't have to disassemble
   rseq critical section to properly skip over them.
 
   Discussions with the glibc community is reaching a consensus of exposing
   a __rseq_handled symbol from glibc to coexist with rseq early adopters.
   Update the rseq selftest code to expose and use this symbol.
 
   Support for compiling asm goto with clang is added with the
   "-no-integrated-as" compiler switch, similarly to the top level kernel
   Makefile.
 
 - kselftest Makefile test run output refactoring and making test
   output TAP13 compliant from Kees Cook:
 
   This re-factors the selftest Makefiles to extract the test running logic
   to be reused between "run_tests" and "emit_tests", while also fixing
   up the test output to be TAP version 13 compliant:
 	- added "plan" line
 	- fixed result line syntax
 	- moved all test output to be "# "-prefixed as TAP "diagnostic"
 	  lines
 
   The prefixing code includes a fallback mode for limited execution
   environments.
 
   Additionally, the plan lines are fixed for all callers of kselftest.h.

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.
