Linus Torvalds c22ccc4a3e - A FPU fix to properly handle invalid MXCSR values: 32-bit masks them
out due to histerical reasons and 64-bit kernels reject them
 
 - A fix to clear X86_FEATURE_SMAP when support for is not config-enabled
 
 - Three fixes correcting misspelled Kconfig symbols used in code
 
 - Two resctrl object cleanup fixes
 
 - Yet another attempt at fixing the neverending saga of botched x86
 timers, this time because some incredibly smart hardware decides to turn
 off the HPET timer in a low power state - who cares if the OS is relying
 on it...
 
 - Check the full return value range of an SEV VMGEXIT call to determine
 whether it returned an error

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.
