Linus Torvalds 77fe1ba902 RISC-V Fixes for 5.17-rc8
* A fix to prevent users from enabling the alternatives framework (and
   thus errata handling) on XIP kernels, where runtime code patching does
   not function correctly.
 * A fix to properly detect offset overflow for AUIPC-based relocations
   in modules.  This may manifest as modules calling arbitrary invalid
   addresses, depending on the address allocated when a module is loaded.

Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:

 - prevent users from enabling the alternatives framework (and thus
   errata handling) on XIP kernels, where runtime code patching does not
   function correctly.

 - properly detect offset overflow for AUIPC-based relocations in
   modules. This may manifest as modules calling arbitrary invalid
   addresses, depending on the address allocated when a module is
   loaded.

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.
