Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
- Improvements for the spectre defense:
* The spectre related code is consolidated to a single file
nospec-branch.c
* Automatic enable/disable for the spectre v2 defenses (expoline vs.
nobp)
* Syslog messages for specve v2 are added
* Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES and define the attribute
functions for spectre v1 and v2
- Add helper macros for assembler alternatives and use them to shorten
the code in entry.S.
- Add support for persistent configuration data via the SCLP Store Data
interface. The H/W interface requires a page table that uses 4K pages
only, the code to setup such an address space is added as well.
- Enable virtio GPU emulation in QEMU. To do this the depends
statements for a few common Kconfig options are modified.
- Add support for format-3 channel path descriptors and add a binary
sysfs interface to export the associated utility strings.
- Add a sysfs attribute to control the IFCC handling in case of
constant channel errors.
- The vfio-ccw changes from Cornelia.
- Bug fixes and 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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
