Linus Torvalds 7f9ec7d816 A small set of updates for x86:
- Return -EIO instead of success when the certificate buffer for SEV
    guests is not large enough.
 
  - Allow STIPB to be enabled with legacy IBSR. Legacy IBRS is cleared on
    return to userspace for performance reasons, but the leaves user space
    vulnerable to cross-thread attacks which STIBP prevents. Update the
    documentation accordingly.

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.
