Linux kernel source tree

When updating a piece of broken logic from using get_user to strncpy_from_user, we noticed that a warning which is expected when calling a function that might fault from an atomic context with pagefaults enabled disappeared. Not having this warning in place can lead to calling strncpy_from_user from an atomic context and eventually kernel crashes/stack corruption.

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.
