Linus Torvalds d488bd21a4 Char/Misc driver fixes for 5.0-rc4
Here are some small char and misc driver fixes to resolve some reported
 issues, as well as a number of binderfs fixups that were found after
 auditing the filesystem code by Al Viro.  As binderfs hasn't been in a
 previous release yet, it's good to get these in now before the first
 users show up.
 
 All of these have been in linux-next for a bit with no reported issues.

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.
