====================
wireguard/siphash patches for 5.16-rc
Here's quite a largeish set of stable patches I've had queued up and
testing for a number of months now:
- Patch (1) squelches a sparse warning by fixing an annotation.
- Patches (2), (3), and (5) are minor improvements and fixes to the
test suite.
- Patch (4) is part of a tree-wide cleanup to have module-specific
init and exit functions.
- Patch (6) fixes a an issue with dangling dst references, by having a
function to release references immediately rather than deferring,
and adds an associated test case to prevent this from regressing.
- Patches (7) and (8) help mitigate somewhat a potential DoS on the
ingress path due to the use of skb_list's locking hitting contention
on multiple cores by switching to using a ring buffer and dropping
packets on contention rather than locking up another core spinning.
- Patch (9) switches kvzalloc to kvcalloc for better form.
- Patch (10) fixes alignment traps in siphash with clang-13 (and maybe
other compilers) on armv6, by switching to using the unaligned
functions by default instead of the aligned functions by default.

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.
