Linus Torvalds 6d04182dd3 powerpc fixes for 5.5 #4
Two weeks worth of accumulated fixes.
 
 A fix for a performance regression seen on PowerVM LPARs using dedicated CPUs,
 caused by our vcpu_is_preempted() returning true even for idle CPUs.
 
 One of the ultravisor support patches broke KVM on big endian hosts in v5.4.
 
 Our KUAP (Kernel User Access Prevention) code missed allowing access in
 __clear_user(), which could lead to an oops or erroneous SEGV when triggered via
 PTRACE_GETREGSET.
 
 Two fixes for the ocxl driver, an open/remove race, and a memory leak in an
 error path.
 
 A handful of other small fixes.
 
 Thanks to:
   Andrew Donnellan, Christian Zigotzky, Christophe Leroy, Christoph Hellwig,
   Daniel Axtens, David Hildenbrand, Frederic Barrat, Gautham R. Shenoy, Greg
   Kurz, Ihor Pasichnyk, Juri Lelli, Marcus Comstedt, Mike Rapoport, Parth Shah,
   Srikar Dronamraju, Vaidyanathan Srinivasan.

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.
