Pull IPMI fixes from Corey Minyard: "I missed the merge window, which wasn't really important at the time as there was nothing that critical that I had for 5.0. However, I say that,and then a number of critical fixes come in: - ipmi: fix use-after-free of user->release_barrier.rda - ipmi: Prevent use-after-free in deliver_response - ipmi: msghandler: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities which are obvious candidates for 5.0. Then there is: - ipmi:ssif: Fix handling of multi-part return messages which is less critical, but it still has some off-by-one things that are not great, so it seemed appropriate. Some machines are broken without it. Then: - ipmi: Don't initialize anything in the core until something uses it It turns out that using SRCU causes large chunks of memory to be used on big iron machines, even if IPMI is never used. This was causing some issues for people on those machines. Everything here is destined for stable" * tag 'for-linus-5.0' of git://github.com/cminyard/linux-ipmi: ipmi: Don't initialize anything in the core until something uses it ipmi: fix use-after-free of user->release_barrier.rda ipmi: Prevent use-after-free in deliver_response ipmi: msghandler: Fix potential Spectre v1 vulnerabilities ipmi:ssif: Fix handling of multi-part return messages
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.
