Linus Torvalds 17baa44286 Various EFI fixes:
- Fix the layering violation in the use of the EFI runtime services
     availability mask in users of the 'efivars' abstraction
 
   - Revert build fix for GCC v4.8 which is no longer supported
 
   - Clean up some x86 EFI stub details, some of which are borderline bugs
     that copy around garbage into padding fields - let's fix these
     out of caution.
 
   - Fix build issues while working on RISC-V support
 
   - Avoid --whole-archive when linking the stub on arm64

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.
