Pull ring-buffer fixes from Steven Rostedt: - Fix possible overflow of mmapped ring buffer with bad offset If the mmap() to the ring buffer passes in a start address that is passed the end of the mmapped file, it is not caught and a slab-out-of-bounds is triggered. Add a check to make sure the start address is within the bounds - Do not use TP_printk() to boot mapped ring buffers As a boot mapped ring buffer's data may have pointers that map to the previous boot's memory map, it is unsafe to allow the TP_printk() to be used to read the boot mapped buffer's events. If a TP_printk() points to a static string from within the kernel it will not match the current kernel mapping if KASLR is active, and it can fault. Have it simply print out the raw fields. * tag 'trace-ringbuffer-v6.13-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: trace/ring-buffer: Do not use TP_printk() formatting for boot mapped buffers ring-buffer: Fix overflow in __rb_map_vma
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.
