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.

My final cleanup patch for sys_compat_ioctl() introduced a regression on the FIONREAD ioctl command, which is used for both regular and special files, but only works on regular files after my patch, as I had missed the warning that Al Viro put into a comment right above it. Change it back so it can work on any file again by moving the implementation to do_vfs_ioctl() instead. Fixes: 77b90401 ("compat_ioctl: simplify the implementation") Reported-and-tested-by:Christian Zigotzky <chzigotzky@xenosoft.de> Reported-and-tested-by:
