Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "One fix for a bug in our context id handling on 64-bit hash CPUs, which can lead to unrelated processes being able to read/write to each other's virtual memory. See the commit for full details. That is the fix for CVE-2019-12817. This also adds a kernel selftest for the bug" * tag 'powerpc-5.2-6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux: selftests/powerpc: Add test of fork with mapping above 512TB powerpc/mm/64s/hash: Reallocate context ids on fork
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.
