Linux kernel source tree

Florian Westphal found a bug in and suggested a fix for test_loader.c
processing of __retval tag. Because of this bug the function
test_loader.c:do_prog_test_run() never executed and all __retval test
tags were ignored.
If this bug is fixed a number of test cases from
progs/verifier_array_access.c fail with retval not matching the
expected value. This test was recently converted to use test_loader.c
and inline assembly in [1]. When doing the conversion I missed the
important detail of test_verifier.c operation: when it creates
fixup_map_array_ro, fixup_map_array_wo and fixup_map_array_small it
populates these maps with a dummy record.
Disabling the __retval checks for the affected verifier_array_access
in this commit to avoid false-postivies in any potential bisects.
The issue is addressed in the next patch.
I verified that the __retval tags are now respected by changing
expected return values for all tests annotated with __retval, and
checking that these tests started to fail.

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.
