Pull kgdb updates from Daniel Thompson:
"Mostly cleanups but there are also a couple of fixes for out-of-bounds
accesses (including a potential write to the byte before a static
buffer).
The main changes are:
- Fixes to those out-of-bounds access (empty string to configure test
module could write the byte before a buffer, high cpu counts could
read outside of per-cpu structures).
- Improvements to string handling problems picked up by new compiler
warnings and other static checks. Most are fixing benign issues
that can't be tickled without code changes but still reduce the wtf
factor a little.
- Tidy up the terminal output"

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.
