- Drop lazy TLB mode before switching to the temporary address space for
text patching. text_poke() switches to the temporary mm which clears
the lazy mode and restores the original mm afterwards. Due to clearing
lazy mode this might restore a already dead mm if exit_mmap() runs in
parallel on another CPU.
- Document the x32 syscall design fail vs. syscall numbers 512-547
properly.
- Fix the ORC unwinder to handle the inactive task frame correctly. This
was unearthed due to the slightly different code generation of GCC10.
- Use an up to date screen_info for the boot params of kexec instead of
the possibly stale and invalid version which happened to be valid when
the kexec kernel was loaded.

Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A couple of x86 fixes which missed rc1 due to my stupidity:
- Drop lazy TLB mode before switching to the temporary address space
for text patching.
text_poke() switches to the temporary mm which clears the lazy mode
and restores the original mm afterwards. Due to clearing lazy mode
this might restore a already dead mm if exit_mmap() runs in
parallel on another CPU.
- Document the x32 syscall design fail vs. syscall numbers 512-547
properly.
- Fix the ORC unwinder to handle the inactive task frame correctly.
This was unearthed due to the slightly different code generation of

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.
