Linux kernel source tree
0905809b38
The parisc kernel wrongly allows reading from read-protected userspace memory without faulting, e.g. when userspace uses mprotect() to read-protect a memory area and then uses a pointer to this memory in a write(2, addr, 1) syscall. To fix this issue, Dave Anglin developed a set of patches which use the proberi assembler instruction to additionally check read access permissions at runtime. Randy Dunlap contributed two patches to fix a minor typo and to explain why a 32-bit compiler is needed although a 64-bit kernel is built. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iHUEABYKAB0WIQS86RI+GtKfB8BJu973ErUQojoPXwUCaIz+oAAKCRD3ErUQojoP Xy2WAQDMnAWKA62nvsWnwYYtHK7t8tA03XPJ4HlcEOW+EKdW1AEA3yKFBnDQMEm1 zXrjzavY044/00u1Wba3glExQ3Vo0go= =0F3R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'parisc-for-6.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux Pull parisc updates from Helge Deller: - The parisc kernel wrongly allows reading from read-protected userspace memory without faulting, e.g. when userspace uses mprotect() to read-protect a memory area and then uses a pointer to this memory in a write(2, addr, 1) syscall.

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 reStructuredText 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.
