Pull x86 asm alternatives updates from Borislav Petkov: - Switch the in-place instruction patching which lead to at least one weird bug with 32-bit guests, seeing stale instruction bytes, to one working on a buffer, like the rest of the alternatives code does - Add a long overdue check to the X86_FEATURE flag modifying functions to warn when former get changed in a non-compatible way after alternatives have been patched because those changes will be already wrong - Other cleanups * tag 'x86_alternatives_for_v6.10_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/alternatives: Remove alternative_input_2() x86/alternatives: Sort local vars in apply_alternatives() x86/alternatives: Optimize optimize_nops() x86/alternatives: Get rid of __optimize_nops() x86/alternatives: Use a temporary buffer when optimizing NOPs x86/alternatives: Catch late X86_FEATURE modifiers
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 reStructuredText 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.
