mainlining shenanigans
7a11c67a1f
When UID checking is enabled a UID value of 0 is invalid and can not be set by the user. On z/VM it is however used to indicate an unset UID. Until now, this lead to the behavior that one PCI function could be attached with UID 0 after which z/VM would prohibit further attachment. Now if the user then turns off UID checking in z/VM the user could seemingly attach additional PCI functions that would however not show up in Linux as that would not be informed of the change in UID checking mode. This is unexpected and confusing and lead to bug reports against Linux. Instead now, if we encounter an unset UID value of 0 treat it as indicating that UID checking was turned off, switch to automatic domain allocation, and warn the user of the possible misconfiguration.

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.
