Linus Torvalds cc0356d6a0 - Do not #GP on userspace use of CLI/STI but pretend it was a NOP to
keep old userspace from breaking. Adjust the corresponding iopl selftest
 to that.
 
 - Improve stack overflow warnings to say which stack got overflowed and
 raise the exception stack sizes to 2 pages since overflowing the single
 page of exception stack is very easy to do nowadays with all the tracing
 machinery enabled. With that, rip out the custom mapping of AMD SEV's
 too.
 
 - A bunch of changes in preparation for FGKASLR like supporting more
 than 64K section headers in the relocs tool, correct ORC lookup table
 size to cover the whole kernel .text and other adjustments.

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.
