Dobriyan)
- Move more code under CONFIG_COREDUMP (Alexey Dobriyan)
- Fix missing mmap_lock in file_files_note (Eric W. Biederman)
- Remove a.out support for alpha and m68k (Eric W. Biederman)
- Include first pages of non-exec ELF libraries in coredump (Jann
Horn)
- Don't write past end of notes for regset gap in coredump (Rick
Edgecombe)
- Comment clean-ups (Tom Rix)
- Force single empty string when argv is empty (Kees Cook)
- Add NULL argv selftest (Kees Cook)
- Properly redefine PT_GNU_* in terms of PT_LOOS (Kees Cook)

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.
