Linus Torvalds 4178802c77 arm64 fixes:
- The SMCCC firmware interface for the spectre variant 2 mitigation has
   been updated to allow the discovery of whether the CPU needs the
   workaround. This pull request relaxes the kernel check on the return
   value from firmware.
 
 - Fix the commit allowing changing from global to non-global page table
   entries which inadvertently disallowed other safe attribute changes.
 
 - Fix sleeping in atomic during the arm_perf_teardown_cpu() code.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
