James Hogan 2f9eed6e37 MIPS: Drop spurious __unused in struct compat_flock 
commit 6ae1756fad upstream.

MIPS' struct compat_flock doesn't match the 32-bit struct flock, as it
has an extra short __unused before pad[4], which combined with alignment
increases the size to 40 bytes compared with struct flock's 36 bytes.

Since commit 8c6657cb50 ("Switch flock copyin/copyout primitives to
copy_{from,to}_user()"), put_compat_flock() writes the full compat_flock
struct to userland, which results in corruption of the userland word
after the struct flock when running 32-bit userlands on 64-bit kernels.

This was observed to cause a bus error exception when starting Firefox
on Debian 8 (Jessie).

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
