====================
rxrpc, afs: Add AFS GSSAPI security class to AF_RXRPC and kafs
Here's a set of patches to add basic support for the AFS GSSAPI security
class to AF_RXRPC and kafs. It provides transport security for keys that
match the security index 6 (YFS) for connections to the AFS fileserver and
VL server.
Note that security index 4 (OpenAFS) can also be supported using this, but
it needs more work as it's slightly different.
The patches also provide the ability to secure the callback channel -
connections from the fileserver back to the client that are used to pass
file change notifications, amongst other things. When challenged by the
fileserver, kafs will generate a token specific to that server and include
it in the RESPONSE packet as the appdata. The server then extracts this
and uses it to send callback RPC calls back to the client.
It can also be used to provide transport security on the callback channel,
but a further set of patches is required to provide the token and key to
set that up when the client responds to the fileserver's challenge.
This makes use of the previously added crypto-krb5 library that is now
upstream (last 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 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.
