Linus Torvalds 20621d2f27 A set of x86 fixes:
- Prevent a infinite loop in the MCE recovery on return to user space,
     which was caused by a second MCE queueing work for the same page and
     thereby creating a circular work list.
 
   - Make kern_addr_valid() handle existing PMD entries, which are marked not
     present in the higher level page table, correctly instead of blindly
     dereferencing them.
 
   - Pass a valid address to sanitize_phys(). This was caused by the mixture
     of inclusive and exclusive ranges. memtype_reserve() expect 'end' being
     exclusive, but sanitize_phys() wants it inclusive. This worked so far,
     but with end being the end of the physical address space the fail is
     exposed.
 
  - Increase the maximum supported GPIO numbers for 64bit. Newer SoCs exceed
    the previous maximum.

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.
