with certain kernel configs and LLVM.
- Disable setting breakpoints on facilities involved in #DB exception handling
to avoid infinite loops.
- Add extra serialization to non-serializing MSRs (IA32_TSC_DEADLINE and
x2 APIC MSRs) to adhere to SDM's recommendation and avoid any theoretical
issues.
- Re-add the EPB MSR reading on turbostat so that it works on older
kernels which don't have the corresponding EPB sysfs file.
- Add Alder Lake to the list of CPUs which support split lock.
- Fix %dr6 register handling in order to be able to set watchpoints with gdb
again.
- Disable CET instrumentation in the kernel so that gcc doesn't add
ENDBR64 to kernel code and thus confuse tracing.

Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov:
"I hope this is the last batch of x86/urgent updates for this round:
- Remove superfluous EFI PGD range checks which lead to those
assertions failing with certain kernel configs and LLVM.
- Disable setting breakpoints on facilities involved in #DB exception
handling to avoid infinite loops.
- Add extra serialization to non-serializing MSRs (IA32_TSC_DEADLINE
and x2 APIC MSRs) to adhere to SDM's recommendation and avoid any
theoretical issues.
- Re-add the EPB MSR reading on turbostat so that it works on older

============
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.
