Kent Overstreet 5c3273ec3c kernel/hung_task.c: export sysctl_hung_task_timeout_secs
needed for thread_with_file; also rare but not unheard of to need this
in module code, when blocking on user input.

one workaround used by some code is wait_event_interruptible() - but
that can be buggy if the outer context isn't expecting unwinding.

README

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.
