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.

Building kernel mainline with GCC 11 leads to following failure when starting 'init': init[1]: bad frame in sys_sigreturn: 7ff5a900 nip 001083cc lr 001083c4 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b This is an issue due to a segfault happening in __unsafe_restore_general_regs() in a loop copying registers from user to kernel: 10: 7d 09 03 a6 mtctr r8 14: 80 ca 00 00 lwz r6,0(r10) 18: 80 ea 00 04 lwz r7,4(r10) 1c: 90 c9 00 08 stw r6,8(r9) 20: 90 e9 00 0c stw r7,12(r9) 24: 39 0a 00 08 addi r8,r10,8 28: 39 29 00 08 addi r9,r9,8 2c: 81 4a 00 08 lwz r10,8(r10) <== r10 is clobbered here 30: 81 6a 00 0c lwz r11,12(r10) 34: 91 49 00 08 stw r10,8(r9) 38: 91 69 00 0c stw r11,12(r9) 3c: 39 48 00 08 addi r10,r8,8 40: 39 29 00 08 addi r9,r9,8 44: 42 00 ff d0 bdnz 14 <__unsafe_restore_general_regs+0x14> As shown above, this is due to r10 being re-used by GCC. This didn't happen with CLANG. This is fixed by tagging 'x' output as an earlyclobber operand in __get_user_asm2_goto(). Signed-off-by:Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by:
