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.

Daniel Xu says: ==================== 6ae08ae3 ("bpf: Add probe_read_{user, kernel} and probe_read_{user, kernel}_str helpers") introduced a subtle bug where bpf_probe_read_user_str() would potentially copy a few extra bytes after the NUL terminator. This issue is particularly nefarious when strings are used as map keys, as seemingly identical strings can occupy multiple entries in a map. This patchset fixes the issue and introduces a selftest to prevent future regressions. v6 -> v7: * Add comments v5 -> v6: * zero-pad up to sizeof(unsigned long) after NUL v4 -> v5: * don't read potentially uninitialized memory v3 -> v4: * directly pass userspace pointer to prog * test more strings of different length v2 -> v3: * set pid filter before attaching prog in selftest * use long instead of int as bpf_probe_read_user_str() retval * style changes v1 -> v2: * add Fixes: tag * add selftest ==================== Signed-off-by:Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
