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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.

Add the ability to set the security context of packets within the nf_tables framework. Add a nft_object for holding security contexts in the kernel and manipulating packets on the wire. Convert the security context strings at rule addition time to security identifiers. This is the same behavior like in xt_SECMARK and offers better performance than computing it per packet. Set the maximum security context length to 256. Signed-off-by:Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com> Acked-by:
