Pull x86 core updates from Borislav Petkov: - Do not #GP on userspace use of CLI/STI but pretend it was a NOP to keep old userspace from breaking. Adjust the corresponding iopl selftest to that. - Improve stack overflow warnings to say which stack got overflowed and raise the exception stack sizes to 2 pages since overflowing the single page of exception stack is very easy to do nowadays with all the tracing machinery enabled. With that, rip out the custom mapping of AMD SEV's too. - A bunch of changes in preparation for FGKASLR like supporting more than 64K section headers in the relocs tool, correct ORC lookup table size to cover the whole kernel .text and other adjustments. * tag 'x86_core_for_v5.16_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: selftests/x86/iopl: Adjust to the faked iopl CLI/STI usage vmlinux.lds.h: Have ORC lookup cover entire _etext - _stext x86/boot/compressed: Avoid duplicate malloc() implementations x86/boot: Allow a "silent" kaslr random byte fetch x86/tools/relocs: Support >64K section headers x86/sev: Make the #VC exception stacks part of the default stacks storage x86: Increase exception stack sizes x86/mm/64: Improve stack overflow warnings x86/iopl: Fake iopl(3) CLI/STI usage
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.
