- Shrink 'struct instruction', to improve objtool performance & memory
footprint.
- Other maximum memory usage reductions - this makes the build both faster,
and fixes kernel build OOM failures on allyesconfig and similar configs
when they try to build the final (large) vmlinux.o.
- Fix ORC unwinding when a kprobe (INT3) is set on a stack-modifying
single-byte instruction (PUSH/POP or LEAVE). This requires the
extension of the ORC metadata structure with a 'signal' field.
- Misc fixes & cleanups.

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.
