Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

We will be enabling THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK support for ARM, which means that we can no longer load the stack canary value by masking the stack pointer and taking the copy that lives in thread_info. Instead, we will be able to load it from the task_struct directly, by using the TPIDRURO register which will hold the current task pointer when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is in effect. This is much more straight-forward, and allows us to declutter this code a bit while at it. Note that this means that ARMv6 (non-v6K) SMP systems can no longer use this feature, but those are quite rare to begin with, so this is a reasonable trade off.

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.
