Linus Torvalds b136021126 Updates for x86 FRED:
- Enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() because at that point the
     early IDT fault handler is replaced by the real fault handler. The real
     fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the stack frame and
     not from CR2 when the FRED feature is set. But that obviously only
     works when FRED is enabled in the CPU as well.
 
   - Set SS to __KERNEL_DS when enabling FRED to prevent a corner case where
     ERETS can observe a SS mismatch and raises a #GP.

Pull x86 FRED updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Enable FRED right after init_mem_mapping() because at that point the
   early IDT fault handler is replaced by the real fault handler. The
   real fault handler retrieves the faulting address from the stack
   frame and not from CR2 when the FRED feature is set. But that
   obviously only works when FRED is enabled in the CPU as well.

 - Set SS to __KERNEL_DS when enabling FRED to prevent a corner case
   where ERETS can observe a SS mismatch and raises a #GP.

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.
