Linus Torvalds 9b06860d7c libnvdimm for 5.7
- Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
   fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
   configurations.
 
 - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
   filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.
 
 - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
   know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
   onlined.
 
 - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
   persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach in
   the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider them
   power-fail protected.
 
 - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic facility.
 
 - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
   memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.
 
 - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
   including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit test
   compilation fixups.
 
 - Fixup some flexible-array declarations.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-5.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "There were multiple touches outside of drivers/nvdimm/ this round to
  add cross arch compatibility to the devm_memremap_pages() interface,
  enhance numa information for persistent memory ranges, and add a
  zero_page_range() dax operation.

  This cycle I switched from the patchwork api to Konstantin's b4 script
  for collecting tags (from x86, PowerPC, filesystem, and device-mapper
  folks), and everything looks to have gone ok there. This has all
  appeared in -next with no reported issues.

  Summary:

   - Add support for region alignment configuration and enforcement to
     fix compatibility across architectures and PowerPC page size
     configurations.

   - Introduce 'zero_page_range' as a dax operation. This facilitates
     filesystem-dax operation without a block-device.

   - Introduce phys_to_target_node() to facilitate drivers that want to
     know resulting numa node if a given reserved address range was
     onlined.

   - Advertise a persistence-domain for of_pmem and papr_scm. The
     persistence domain indicates where cpu-store cycles need to reach
     in the platform-memory subsystem before the platform will consider
     them power-fail protected.

   - Promote numa_map_to_online_node() to a cross-kernel generic
     facility.

   - Save x86 numa information to allow for node-id lookups for reserved
     memory ranges, deploy that capability for the e820-pmem driver.

   - Pick up some miscellaneous minor fixes, that missed v5.6-final,
     including a some smatch reports in the ioctl path and some unit
     test compilation fixups.

   - Fixup some flexible-array declarations"

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.
