Hi Linus,
One patch pull request for you to ponder in the hopefully less stressful 2nd week of the merge window :-)
It's also marked cc: stable so people can stop building kernels that don't work so well.
topic/kcmp-kconfig-2021-02-22: kconfig for kcmp syscall
drm userspaces uses this, systemd uses this, makes sense to pull it out from the checkpoint-restore bundle. Kees reviewed this from security pov and is happy with the final version.
