Various fixes across several hardening areas:
- loadpin: Fix verity target enforcement (Matthias Kaehlcke).
- zero-call-used-regs: Add missing clobbers in paravirt (Bill Wendling).
- CFI: clean up sparc function pointer type mismatches (Bart Van Assche).
- Clang: Adjust compiler flag detection for various Clang changes (Sami
Tolvanen, Kees Cook).
- fortify: Fix warnings in arch-specific code in sh, ARM, and xen.
Improvements to existing features:
- testing: improve overflow KUnit test, introduce fortify KUnit test,
add more coverage to LKDTM tests (Bart Van Assche, Kees Cook).
- overflow: Relax overflow type checking for wider utility.
New features:
- string: Introduce strtomem() and strtomem_pad() to fill a gap in
strncpy() replacement needs.
- um: Enable FORTIFY_SOURCE support.
- fortify: Enable run-time struct member memcpy() overflow warning.

Pull kernel hardening updates from Kees Cook:
"Most of the collected changes here are fixes across the tree for
various hardening features (details noted below).
The most notable new feature here is the addition of the memcpy()
overflow warning (under CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE), which is the next step
on the path to killing the common class of "trivially detectable"
buffer overflow conditions (i.e. on arrays with sizes known at compile
time) that have resulted in many exploitable vulnerabilities over the
years (e.g. BleedingTooth).
This feature is expected to still have some undiscovered false
positives. It's been in -next for a full development cycle and all the
reported false positives have been fixed in their respective trees.
All the known-bad code patterns we could find with Coccinelle are also
either fixed in their respective trees or in flight.

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.
