Merge procfs splice read fixes from Christoph Hellwig:
"Greg reported a problem due to the fact that Android tests use procfs
files to test splice, which stopped working with the changes for
set_fs() removal.
This series adds read_iter support for seq_file, and uses those for
various proc files using seq_file to restore splice read support"
[ Side note: Christoph initially had a scripted "move everything over"
patch, which looks fine, but I personally would prefer us to actively
discourage splice() on random files. So this does just the minimal
basic core set of proc file op conversions.
For completeness, and in case people care, that script was
sed -i -e 's/\.proc_read\(\s*=\s*\)seq_read/\.proc_read_iter\1seq_read_iter/g'
but I'll wait and see if somebody has a strong argument for using
splice on random small /proc files before I'd run it on the whole
kernel. - Linus ]
* emailed patches from Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>:
proc "seq files": switch to ->read_iter
proc "single files": switch to ->read_iter
proc/stat: switch to ->read_iter
proc/cpuinfo: switch to ->read_iter
proc: wire up generic_file_splice_read for iter ops
seq_file: add seq_read_iter

README
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.
