Linus Torvalds 5bb7b2107f A set of fixes for X86:
- Prevent sending the wrong signal when protection keys are enabled and
    the kernel handles a fault in the vsyscall emulation.
 
  - Invoke early_reserve_memory() before invoking e820_memory_setup() which
    is required to make the Xen dom0 e820 hooks work correctly.
 
  - Use the correct data type for the SETZ operand in the EMQCMDS
    instruction wrapper.
 
  - Prevent undefined behaviour to the potential unaligned accesss in the
    instroction decoder library.

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.
