 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Move from kmalloc() to kmalloc_obj().
 * Documentation updates.
 * Improve handling of RCU deferred quiescent states.
 * Clean up unused function arguments and structure fields.
 * Reduce show_rcu_gp_kthreads() stack space.

Tasks RCU updates:
 * Clean up after SRCU re-implementation of Tasks Trace RCU.
 * Mark accesses to inform KCSAN of concurrency design.
 * Add ->lazy_timer status to diagnostic output.
 * Remove an unnecessary memory barrier.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Documentation updates.
 * Convert cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() from macro to static inline
   function.

SRCU updates:
 * Add Rust helpers for SRCU.
 * Avoid losing queued work at cleanup_srcu_struct() time.

Torture-test updates:
 * Preparation work for immediate RCU priority deboosting.
 * Test RCU readers from real interrupt handlers (as opposed to softirq).
 * Simplify code through use of cpumask_next_wrap().
 * Improve diagnostic output with character task states.
 * Add rcutorture.nwriters parameter to allow lightweight stall testing,
   and rcutorture.stall_only to make doing so easier.
 * Test an RCU Tasks Trace grace period implying an RCU grace period.
 * Make RCU Tasks Trace torturing track reader batches.
 * Fix a data race, courtesy of KCSAN.
 * Plug a shuffle_tmp_mask memory leak on kthread spawn failure.

+Introduction
+============
+
+Digital signature verification API provides a method to verify digital signature.
+Currently digital signatures are used by the IMA/EVM integrity protection subsystem.
+
+Digital signature verification is implemented using cut-down kernel port of
+GnuPG multi-precision integers (MPI) library. The kernel port provides
+memory allocation errors handling, has been refactored according to kernel
+coding style, and checkpatch.pl reported errors and warnings have been fixed.
+
+Public key and signature consist of header and MPIs::
+
+	struct pubkey_hdr {
+		uint8_t		version;	/* key format version */
+		time_t		timestamp;	/* key made, always 0 for now */
+		uint8_t		algo;
+		uint8_t		nmpi;
+		char		mpi[0];
+	} __packed;
+
+	struct signature_hdr {
+		uint8_t		version;	/* signature format version */
+		time_t		timestamp;	/* signature made */
+		uint8_t		algo;
+		uint8_t		hash;
+		uint8_t		keyid[8];
+		uint8_t		nmpi;
+		char		mpi[0];
+	} __packed;
+
+keyid equals to SHA1[12-19] over the total key content.
+Signature header is used as an input to generate a signature.
+Such approach insures that key or signature header could not be changed.
+It protects timestamp from been changed and can be used for rollback
+protection.
+
+API
+===
+
+API currently includes only 1 function::
+
+	digsig_verify() - digital signature verification with public key
+
+
+	/**
+	* digsig_verify() - digital signature verification with public key
+	* @keyring:	keyring to search key in
+	* @sig:	digital signature
+	* @sigen:	length of the signature
+	* @data:	data
+	* @datalen:	length of the data
+	* @return:	0 on success, -EINVAL otherwise
+	*
+	* Verifies data integrity against digital signature.
+	* Currently only RSA is supported.
+	* Normally hash of the content is used as a data for this function.
+	*
+	*/
+	int digsig_verify(struct key *keyring, const char *sig, int siglen,
+			  const char *data, int datalen);
+
+User-space utilities
+====================
+
+The signing and key management utilities evm-utils provide functionality
+to generate signatures, to load keys into the kernel keyring.
+Keys can be in PEM or converted to the kernel format.
+When the key is added to the kernel keyring, the keyid defines the name
+of the key: 5D2B05FC633EE3E8 in the example below.
+
+Here is example output of the keyctl utility::
+
+	$ keyctl show
+	Session Keyring
+	-3 --alswrv      0     0  keyring: _ses
+	603976250 --alswrv      0    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.0
+	817777377 --alswrv      0     0       \_ user: kmk
+	891974900 --alswrv      0     0       \_ encrypted: evm-key
+	170323636 --alswrv      0     0       \_ keyring: _module

+	128198054 --alswrv      0     0       \_ keyring: _evm
+
+	$ keyctl list 128198054
+	1 key in keyring:
