Linus Torvalds 10c091b62e A set of EFI fixes:
- Enforce NX on RO data in mixed EFI mode
  - Destroy workqueue in an error handling path to prevent UAF
  - Stop argument parser at '--' which is the delimiter for init
  - Treat a NULL command line pointer as empty instead of dereferncing it
    unconditionally.
  - Handle an unterminated command line correctly
  - Cleanup the 32bit code leftovers and remove obsolete documentation

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.
