Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says: There have been a couple of reports that using the hint address to restrict the address returned by mmap hint address has caused issues in applications. A different solution for restricting addresses returned by mmap is necessary to avoid breakages. [Palmer: This also just wasn't doing the right thing in the first place, as it didn't handle the sv39 cases we were trying to deal with.] * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: mm: Do not restrict mmap address based on hint riscv: selftests: Remove mmap hint address checks Revert "RISC-V: mm: Document mmap changes" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240826-riscv_mmap-v1-0-cd8962afe47f@rivosinc.com Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
