Pull compiler-based variable initialization updates from Kees Cook: "This is effectively part of my gcc-plugins tree, but as this adds some Clang support, it felt weird to still call it "gcc-plugins". :) This consolidates Kconfig for the existing stack variable initialization (via structleak and stackleak gcc plugins) and adds Alexander Potapenko's support for Clang's new similar functionality. Summary: - Consolidate memory initialization Kconfigs (Kees) - Implement support for Clang's stack variable auto-init (Alexander)" * tag 'meminit-v5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux: security: Implement Clang's stack initialization security: Move stackleak config to Kconfig.hardening security: Create "kernel hardening" config area
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.
