Linus Torvalds 74a0032b85 - Prepare for and clear .brk early in order to address XenPV guests
failures where the hypervisor verifies page tables and uninitialized
 data in that range leads to bogus failures in those checks
 
 - Add any potential setup_data entries supplied at boot to the identity
 pagetable mappings to prevent kexec kernel boot failures. Usually, this
 is not a problem for the normal kernel as those mappings are part of
 the initially mapped 2M pages but if kexec gets to allocate the second
 kernel somewhere else, those setup_data entries need to be mapped there
 too.
 
 - Fix objtool not to discard text references from the __tracepoints
 section so that ENDBR validation still works
 
 - Correct the setup_data types limit as it is user-visible, before 5.19
 releases

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.
