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.

Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner: - Fix fsnotify FMODE_NONOTIFY* handling. This also disables fsnotify on all pseudo files by default apart from very select exceptions. This carries a regression risk so we need to watch out and adapt accordingly. However, it is overall a significant improvement over the current status quo where every rando file can get fsnotify enabled. - Cleanup and simplify lockref_init() after recent lockref changes. - Fix vboxfs build with gcc-15. - Add an assert into inode_set_cached_link() to catch corrupt links. - Allow users to also use an empty string check to detect whether a given mount option string was empty or not. - Fix how security options were appended to statmount()'s ->mnt_opt field. - Fix statmount() selftests to always check the returned mask. - Fix uninitialized value in vfs_statx_path(). - Fix pidfs_ioctl() sanity checks to guard against ioctl() overloading and preserve extensibility. * tag 'vfs-6.14-rc2.fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: vfs: sanity check the length passed to inode_set_cached_link() pidfs: improve ioctl handling fsnotify: disable pre-content and permission events by default selftests: always check mask returned by statmount(2) fsnotify: disable notification by default for all pseudo files fs: fix adding security options to statmount.mnt_opt fsnotify: use accessor to set FMODE_NONOTIFY_* lockref: remove count argument of lockref_init gfs2: switch to lockref_init(..., 1) gfs2: use lockref_init for gl_lockref statmount: let unset strings be empty vboxsf: fix building with GCC 15 fs/stat.c: avoid harmless garbage value problem in vfs_statx_path()
