Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon:
 "Fix some more FP register fallout from the SVE patches and also some
  problems with the PGD tracking in our software PAN emulation code,
  after we received a crash report from a 3.18 kernel running a
  backport.

  Summary:

   - fix SW PAN pgd shadowing for kernel threads, EFI and exiting user
     tasks

   - fix FP register leak when a task_struct is re-allocated

   - fix potential use-after-free in FP state tracking used by KVM"

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.
