mainlining shenanigans
Go to file
Linus Torvalds e24f9c5f6e - Remove superfluous EFI PGD range checks which lead to those assertions failing
with certain kernel configs and LLVM.
 
 - Disable setting breakpoints on facilities involved in #DB exception handling
 to avoid infinite loops.
 
 - Add extra serialization to non-serializing MSRs (IA32_TSC_DEADLINE and
 x2 APIC MSRs) to adhere to SDM's recommendation and avoid any theoretical
 issues.
 
 - Re-add the EPB MSR reading on turbostat so that it works on older
 kernels which don't have the corresponding EPB sysfs file.
 
 - Add Alder Lake to the list of CPUs which support split lock.
 
 - Fix %dr6 register handling in order to be able to set watchpoints with gdb
 again.
 
 - Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel so that gcc doesn't add
 ENDBR64 to kernel code and thus confuse tracing.

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.
