Linus Torvalds 072a276745 - Fix build error on RHEL where -Werror=maybe-uninitialized is set.
- Restore the firmware's IDT when calling EFI boot services and before
 ExitBootServices() has been called. This fixes a boot failure on what
 appears to be a tablet with 32-bit UEFI running a 64-bit kernel.

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.
