Linus Torvalds 29caf07e9d * Features
- extend next/check table to add support for 2^24 states to the
     state machine.
   - rework capability audit cache to use broader cred information
     instead of just the profile. Also add a time stamp so old
     entries can be aged out of the cache.
 
 * Bug Fixes
   - fix 'Do simple duplicate message elimination' to clear previous
     state when updating in capability audit cache
   - Fix memory leak for aa_unpack_strdup()
   - properly handle cx/px lookup failure when in complain mode
   - allocate xmatch for nullpdb inside aa_alloc_null fixing a
     NULL ptr deref of tracking profiles in when in complain mode
 
 * Cleanups
   - Remove everything being reported as deadcode
   - replace misleading 'scrubbing environment' phrase in debug print
   - Remove unnecessary NULL check before kvfree()
   - clean up duplicated parts of handle_onexec()
   - Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() helper function
   - move new_profile declaration to top of block instead immediately
     after label to remove C23 extension warning
 
 * Documentation
   - add comment to document capability.c:profile_capable ad ptr
     parameter can not be NULL
   - add comment to document first entry is in packed perms struct is
     reserved for future planned expansion.
   - Update LSM/apparmor.rst add blurb for
     CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR

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.
