Linus Torvalds a5ed1e96ca powerpc fixes for 5.1 #3
One fix for a boot failure on 32-bit, introduced during the merge window.
 
 A fix for our handling of CLOCK_MONOTONIC in the 64-bit VDSO. Changing the wall
 clock across the Y2038 boundary could cause CLOCK_MONOTONIC to jump forward and
 backward.
 
 Our spectre_v2 reporting was a bit confusing due to a bug I introduced. On some
 systems it was reporting that the count cache was disabled and also that we were
 flushing the count cache on context switch. Only the former is true, and given
 that the count cache is disabled it doesn't make any sense to flush it. No one
 reported it, so presumably the presence of any mitigation is all people check
 for.
 
 Finally a small build fix for zsmalloc on 32-bit.
 
 Thanks to:
   Ben Hutchings, Christophe Leroy, Diana Craciun, Guenter Roeck, Michael Neuling.

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.
