Linus Torvalds 87fa732dc5 X86 core updates:
- Prevent kprobes on compiler generated CFI checking code.
 
     The compiler generates a instruction sequence for indirect call
     checks. If this sequence is modified with a kprobe, then the check
     fails. So the instructions must be protected against probing.
 
   - A few minor cleanups for the SMP code
 
 Thanks,

Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Prevent kprobes on compiler generated CFI checking code.

   The compiler generates an instruction sequence for indirect call
   checks. If this sequence is modified with a kprobe, then the check
   fails. So the instructions must be protected against probing.

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.
