can and ieee802154.
 
 Current release - regressions:
 
  - r8169: fix ASPM-related link-up regressions
 
  - bridge: fix flags interpretation for extern learn fdb entries
 
  - phy: micrel: fix link detection on ksz87xx switch
 
  - Revert "tipc: Return the correct errno code"
 
  - ptp: fix possible memory leak caused by invalid cast
 
 Current release - new code bugs:
 
  - bpf: add missing bpf_read_[un]lock_trace() for syscall program
 
  - bpf: fix potentially incorrect results with bpf_get_local_storage()
 
  - page_pool: mask the page->signature before the checking, avoid
       dma mapping leaks
 
  - netfilter: nfnetlink_hook: 5 fixes to information in netlink dumps
 
  - bnxt_en: fix firmware interface issues with PTP
 
  - mlx5: Bridge, fix ageing time
 
 Previous releases - regressions:
 
  - linkwatch: fix failure to restore device state across suspend/resume
 
  - bareudp: fix invalid read beyond skb's linear data
 
 Previous releases - always broken:
 
  - bpf: fix integer overflow involving bucket_size
 
  - ppp: fix issues when desired interface name is specified via netlink
 
  - wwan: mhi_wwan_ctrl: fix possible deadlock
 
  - dsa: microchip: ksz8795: fix number of VLAN related bugs

 Misc:
 
  - bpf: add lockdown check for probe_write_user helper
 
  - netfilter: conntrack: remove offload_pickup sysctl before 5.14 is out
 
  - netfilter: conntrack: collect all entries in one cycle,
 	      heuristically slow down garbage collection scans
 	      on idle systems to prevent frequent wake ups

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.
