mainlining shenanigans

Linus Torvalds 0a319ef75d Most of the changes here related to 'XSAVES supervisor state' support,
which is a feature that allows kernel-only data to be automatically
 saved/restored by the FPU context switching code.
 
 CPU features that can be supported this way are Intel PT, 'PASID' and
 CET features.

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.
