Merge tag 'vla-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull VLA removal from Kees Cook:
 "Globally warn on VLA use.

  This turns on "-Wvla" globally now that the last few trees with their
  VLA removals have landed (crypto, block, net, and powerpc).

  Arnd mentioned that there may be a couple more VLAs hiding in
  hard-to-find randconfigs, but nothing big has shaken out in the last
  month or so in linux-next.

  We should be basically VLA-free now! Wheee. :)

  Summary:

   - Remove unused fallback for BUILD_BUG_ON (which technically contains
     a VLA)

   - Lift -Wvla to the top-level Makefile"

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.
