Linus Torvalds 6a45a65888 A set of fixes and updates for x86:
- Unbreak paravirt VDSO clocks. While the VDSO code was moved into lib
     for sharing a subtle check for the validity of paravirt clocks got
     replaced. While the replacement works perfectly fine for bare metal as
     the update of the VDSO clock mode is synchronous, it fails for paravirt
     clocks because the hypervisor can invalidate them asynchronous. Bring
     it back as an optional function so it does not inflict this on
     architectures which are free of PV damage.
 
   - Fix the jiffies to jiffies64 mapping on 64bit so it does not trigger
     an ODR violation on newer compilers
 
   - Three fixes for the SSBD and *IB* speculation mitigation maze to ensure
     consistency, not disabling of some *IB* variants wrongly and to prevent
     a rogue cross process shutdown of SSBD. All marked for stable.
 
   - Add yet more CPU models to the splitlock detection capable list !@#%$!
 
   - Bring the pr_info() back which tells that TSC deadline timer is enabled.
 
   - Reboot quirk for MacBook6,1

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.
