Linus Torvalds 25c7cb05fa - Switch the in-place instruction patching which lead to at least one weird bug
with 32-bit guests, seeing stale instruction bytes, to one working on
   a buffer, like the rest of the alternatives code does
 
 - Add a long overdue check to the X86_FEATURE flag modifying functions to warn
   when former get changed in a non-compatible way after alternatives have been
   patched because those changes will be already wrong
 
 - Other 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 reStructuredText 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.
