Linus Torvalds 64ad946152 - Get rid of all the .fixup sections because this generates 
misleading/wrong stacktraces and confuse RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and
 LIVEPATCH as the backtrace misses the function which is being fixed up.
 
 - Add Straight Light Speculation mitigation support which uses a new
 compiler switch -mharden-sls= which sticks an INT3 after a RET or an
 indirect branch in order to block speculation after them. Reportedly,
 CPUs do speculate behind such insns.
 
 - The usual set of cleanups and improvements

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.
