Linus Torvalds 72af84151f Merge branch 'x86-microcode-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 microcode loading updates from Borislav Petkov:
 "This update contains work started by Maciej to make the microcode
  container verification more robust against all kinds of corruption and
  also unify verification paths between early and late loading.

  The result is a set of verification routines which validate the
  microcode blobs before loading it on the CPU. In addition, the code is
  a lot more streamlined and unified.

  In the process, some of the aspects of patch handling and loading were
  simplified.

  All provided by Maciej S. Szmigiero and Borislav Petkov"

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.
