mainlining shenanigans

Vexpress platforms provide two different restart handlers: SYS_REBOOT that restart the entire system, while DB_RESET only restarts the daughter board containing the CPU. DB_RESET is overridden by SYS_REBOOT if it exists. notifier_chain_register used in register_restart_handler by design relies on notifiers to be registered once only, however vexpress restart notifier can get registered twice. When this happen it corrupts list of notifiers, as result some notifiers can be not called on proper event, traverse on list can be cycled forever, and second unregister can access already freed memory. So far, since this was the only restart handler in the system, no issue was observed even if the same notifier was registered twice. However commit |

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
