Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
871305bb20
Patch series "cleanups and refactor of /proc/pid/smaps*". The recent regression in /proc/pid/smaps made me look more into the code. Especially the issues with smaps_rollup reported in [1] as explained in Patch 4, which fixes them by refactoring the code. Patches 2 and 3 are preparations for that. Patch 1 is me realizing that there's a lot of boilerplate left from times where we tried (unsuccessfuly) to mark thread stacks in the output. Originally I had also plans to rework the translation from /proc/pid/*maps* file offsets to the internal structures. Now the offset means "vma number", which is not really stable (vma's can come and go between read() calls) and there's an extra caching of last vma's address. My idea was that offsets would be interpreted directly as addresses, which would also allow meaningful seeks (see the ugly seek_to_smaps_entry() in tools/testing/selftests/vm/mlock2.h). However loff_t is (signed) long long so that might be insufficient somewhere for the unsigned long addresses. So the result is fixed issues with skewed /proc/pid/smaps_rollup results, simpler smaps code, and a lot of unused code removed.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
