Linus Torvalds 586592478b - Add support for the hugetlb_cma command line option to allocate gigantic
hugepages using CMA:
 
 - Add arch_get_random_long() support.
 
 - Add ap bus userspace notifications.
 
 - Increase default size of vmalloc area to 512GB and otherwise let it increase
   dynamically by the size of physical memory. This should fix all occurrences
   where the vmalloc area was not large enough.
 
 - Completely get rid of set_fs() (aka select SET_FS) and rework address space
   handling while doing that; making address space handling much more simple.
 
 - Reimplement getcpu vdso syscall in C.
 
 - Add support for extended SCLP responses (> 4k). This allows e.g. to handle
   also potential large system configurations.
 
 - Simplify KASAN by removing 3-level page table support and only supporting
   4-levels from now on.
 
 - Improve debug-ability of the kernel decompressor code, which now prints also
   stack traces and symbols in case of problems to the console.
 
 - Remove more power management leftovers.
 
 - Other various fixes and improvements all over the place.

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.
