Linus Torvalds 106b88d7a9 x86/asm changes for v6.8:
- Replace magic numbers in GDT descriptor definitions & handling:
 
    - Introduce symbolic names via macros for descriptor types/fields/flags,
      and then use these symbolic names.
 
    - Clean up definitions a bit, such as GDT_ENTRY_INIT()
 
    - Fix/clean up details that became visibly inconsistent after the
      symbol-based code was introduced:
 
       - Unify accessed flag handling
 
       - Set the D/B size flag consistently & according to the HW specification

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.
