Merge tag 'meminit-v5.2-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull compiler-based variable initialization updates from Kees Cook:
 "This is effectively part of my gcc-plugins tree, but as this adds some
  Clang support, it felt weird to still call it "gcc-plugins". :)

  This consolidates Kconfig for the existing stack variable
  initialization (via structleak and stackleak gcc plugins) and adds
  Alexander Potapenko's support for Clang's new similar functionality.

  Summary:

   - Consolidate memory initialization Kconfigs (Kees)

   - Implement support for Clang's stack variable auto-init (Alexander)"

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.

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.
