Linus Torvalds 0d8ba24e72 Just when you thought that all the speculation bugs were addressed and
solved and the nightmare is complete, here's the next one: speculating
 after RET instructions and leaking privileged information using the now
 pretty much classical covert channels.
 
 It is called RETBleed and the mitigation effort and controlling
 functionality has been modelled similar to what already existing
 mitigations provide.

README

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.
