Linus Torvalds 865dad2022 kcfi updates for v6.1-rc1
This replaces the prior support for Clang's standard Control Flow
 Integrity (CFI) instrumentation, which has required a lot of special
 conditions (e.g. LTO) and work-arounds. The current implementation
 ("Kernel CFI") is specific to C, directly designed for the Linux kernel,
 and takes advantage of architectural features like x86's IBT. This
 series retains arm64 support and adds x86 support. Additional "generic"
 architectural support is expected soon:

 - treewide: Remove old CFI support details
 
 - arm64: Replace Clang CFI support with Clang KCFI support
 
 - x86: Introduce Clang KCFI support

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.
