Linus Torvalds a440e4d761 - A fix for fanotify_mark() missing the conversion of x86_32 native
syscalls which take 64-bit arguments to the compat handlers due to
 former having a general compat handler. (Brian Gerst)
 
 - Add a forgotten pmd page destructor call to pud_free_pmd_page() where
 a pmd page is freed. (Dan Williams)
 
 - Make IN/OUT insns with an u8 immediate port operand handling for
 SEV-ES guests more precise by using only the single port byte and not
 the whole s32 value of the insn decoder. (Peter Gonda)
 
 - Correct a straddling end range check before returning the proper MTRR
 type, when the end address is the same as top of memory. (Ying-Tsun
 Huang)
 
 - Change PQR_ASSOC MSR update scheme when moving a task to a resctrl
 resource group to avoid significant performance overhead with some
 resctrl workloads. (Fenghua Yu)
 
 - Avoid the actual task move overhead when the task is already in the
 resource group. (Fenghua Yu)

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.
