 - Add missing list sentinel for CPUs that don't require KPTI
 
 - Removal of unused 'addr' parameter for I/D cache coherency
 
 - Removal of redundant set_fs(KERNEL_DS) calls in ptrace

 "Nothing too bad, but the spectre updates to smatch identified a few
  places that may need sanitising so we've got those covered.

  Details:

   - Close some potential spectre-v1 vulnerabilities found by smatch

   - Add missing list sentinel for CPUs that don't require KPTI

   - Removal of unused 'addr' parameter for I/D cache coherency

   - Removal of redundant set_fs(KERNEL_DS) calls in ptrace

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
