Linus Torvalds 7006fe2f7f A set of x86 fixes:
- Fix 32-bit PTI for real. pti_clone_entry_text() is called twice, once
     before initcalls so that initcalls can use the user-mode helper and
     then again after text is set read only. Setting read only on 32-bit
     might break up the PMD mapping, which makes the second invocation of
     pti_clone_entry_text() find the mappings out of sync and failing.
 
     Allow the second call to split the existing PMDs in the user mapping
     and synchronize with the kernel mapping.
 
   - Don't make acpi_mp_wake_mailbox not read only after init as the mail
     box must be writable in the case that CPU hotplug operations happen
     after boot. Otherwise the attempt to start a CPU crashes with a write
     to read only memory.
 
   - Add a missing sanity check in mtrr_save_state() to ensure that the
     fixed MTRR MSRs are supported.
 
     Otherwise mtrr_save_state() ends up in a #GP, which is fixed up, but
     the WARN_ON() can bring systems down when panic on warn is set.

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 reStructuredText 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.
