Linus Torvalds 7031b64125 Merge branch 'x86-fpu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip 
Pull x86 fpu fixes and cleanups from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is _way_ more cleanups than fixes, but the bugs were subtle and
  hard to hit, and the primary reason for them existing was the
  unnecessary historical complexity of some of the x86/fpu interfaces.

  The first bunch of commits clean up and simplify the xstate user copy
  handling functions, in reaction to the collective head-scratching
  about the xstate user-copy handling code that leads up to the fix for
  this SkyLake xstate handling bug:

     0852b37417: x86/fpu: Add FPU state copying quirk to handle XRSTOR failure on Intel Skylake CPUs

  The cleanups don't change any functionality, they just (hopefully)
  make it all clearer, more consistent, more debuggable and more robust.

  Note that most of the linecount increase comes from these commits,
  where we better split the user/kernel copy logic by having more
  variants, instead repeated fragile patterns of:

               if (kbuf) {
                       memcpy(kbuf + pos, data, copy);
               } else {
                       if (__copy_to_user(ubuf + pos, data, copy))
                               return -EFAULT;
               }

  The next bunch of commits simplify the FPU state-machine to get rid of
  old lazy-FPU idiosyncrasies - a defensive simplification to make all
  the code easier to review and fix. No change in functionality.

  Then there's a couple of additional debugging tweaks: static checker
  warning fix and move an FPU related warning to under WARN_ON_FPU(),
  followed by another bunch of commits that represent a finegrained
  split-up of the fixes from Eric Biggers to handle weird xstate bits
  properly.

  I did this finegrained split-up because some of these fixes also
  impact the ABI for weird xstate handling, for which we'd like to have
  good bisection results, should they cause any problems. (We also had
  one regression with the more monolithic fixes, so splitting it all up
  sounded prudent for robustness reasons as well.)

  About the whole series: the commits up to 03eaec81ac have been in
  -next for months - but I've recently rebased them to remove a state
  machine clean-up commit that was objected to, and to make it more
  bisectable - so technically it's a new, rebased tree.

  Robustness history: this series had some regressions along the way,
  and all reported regressions have been fixed. All but one of the
  regressions manifested itself as easy to report warnings. The previous
  version of this latest series was also in linux-next, with one
  (warning-only) regression reported which is fixed in the latest
  version.

  Barring last minute brown paper bag bugs (and the commits are now
  older by a day which I'd hope helps paperbag reduction), I'm
  reasonably confident about its general robustness.

  Famous last words ..."

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
