Linus Torvalds 5515114211 Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 pti fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of fixes for the meltdown/spectre mitigations:

   - Make kprobes aware of retpolines to prevent probes in the retpoline
     thunks.

   - Make the machine check exception speculation protected. MCE used to
     issue an indirect call directly from the ASM entry code. Convert
     that to a direct call into a C-function and issue the indirect call
     from there so the compiler can add the retpoline protection,

   - Make the vmexit_fill_RSB() assembly less stupid

   - Fix a typo in the PTI documentation"

* 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/retpoline: Optimize inline assembler for vmexit_fill_RSB
  x86/pti: Document fix wrong index
  kprobes/x86: Disable optimizing on the function jumps to indirect thunk
  kprobes/x86: Blacklist indirect thunk functions for kprobes
  retpoline: Introduce start/end markers of indirect thunk
  x86/mce: Make machine check speculation protected

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
