Linus Torvalds 1930a6e739 ptrace: Cleanups for v5.18
This set of changes removes tracehook.h, moves modification of all of
 the ptrace fields inside of siglock to remove races, adds a missing
 permission check to ptrace.c
 
 The removal of tracehook.h is quite significant as it has been a major
 source of confusion in recent years.  Much of that confusion was
 around task_work and TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL (which I have now decoupled
 making the semantics clearer).
 
 For people who don't know tracehook.h is a vestiage of an attempt to
 implement uprobes like functionality that was never fully merged, and
 was later superseeded by uprobes when uprobes was merged.  For many
 years now we have been removing what tracehook functionaly a little
 bit at a time.  To the point where now anything left in tracehook.h is
 some weird strange thing that is difficult to understand.
 
 Eric W. Biederman (15):
       ptrace: Move ptrace_report_syscall into ptrace.h
       ptrace/arm: Rename tracehook_report_syscall report_syscall
       ptrace: Create ptrace_report_syscall_{entry,exit} in ptrace.h
       ptrace: Remove arch_syscall_{enter,exit}_tracehook
       ptrace: Remove tracehook_signal_handler
       task_work: Remove unnecessary include from posix_timers.h
       task_work: Introduce task_work_pending
       task_work: Call tracehook_notify_signal from get_signal on all architectures
       task_work: Decouple TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL and task_work
       signal: Move set_notify_signal and clear_notify_signal into sched/signal.h
       resume_user_mode: Remove #ifdef TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in set_notify_resume
       resume_user_mode: Move to resume_user_mode.h
       tracehook: Remove tracehook.h
       ptrace: Move setting/clearing ptrace_message into ptrace_stop
       ptrace: Return the signal to continue with from ptrace_stop
 
 Jann Horn (1):
       ptrace: Check PTRACE_O_SUSPEND_SECCOMP permission on PTRACE_SEIZE
 
 Yang Li (1):
       ptrace: Remove duplicated include in ptrace.c

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.
