Linus Torvalds 8194c28efd powerpc fixes for 5.4 #4
Our recent cleanup of EEH led to an oops on bare metal machines when the cxl
 (CAPI) driver creates virtual devices for an attached FPGA accelerator.
 
 The "secure virtual machine" support we added in v5.4 had a bug if the kernel
 was relocated (moved during boot), in those cases the signature of the kernel
 text wouldn't verify and the Ultravisor would refuse to run the VM.
 
 A recent change to disable interrupts before calling arch_cpu_idle_dead() caused
 a WARN_ON() in our bare metal CPU offline code to always trigger.
 
 The KUAP (SMAP) support we added for 32-bit Book3S had a bug if the address
 range crossed a segment (256MB) boundary which could lead to spurious faults.
 
 Thanks to:
   Christophe Leroy, Frederic Barrat, Michael Anderson, Nicholas Piggin, Sam
   Bobroff, Thiago Jung Bauermann.

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.
