Pull VLA removal from Kees Cook:
"Globally warn on VLA use.
This turns on "-Wvla" globally now that the last few trees with their
VLA removals have landed (crypto, block, net, and powerpc).
Arnd mentioned that there may be a couple more VLAs hiding in
hard-to-find randconfigs, but nothing big has shaken out in the last
month or so in linux-next.
We should be basically VLA-free now! Wheee. :)
Summary:
- Remove unused fallback for BUILD_BUG_ON (which technically contains
a VLA)
- Lift -Wvla to the top-level Makefile"
* tag 'vla-v4.20-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
Makefile: Globally enable VLA warning
compiler.h: give up __compiletime_assert_fallback()
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.
