Linus Torvalds 1d966eb4d6 Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "Misc fixes:

   - A rather involved set of memory hardware encryption fixes to
     support the early loading of microcode files via the initrd. These
     are larger than what we normally take at such a late -rc stage, but
     there are two mitigating factors: 1) much of the changes are
     limited to the SME code itself 2) being able to early load
     microcode has increased importance in the post-Meltdown/Spectre
     era.

   - An IRQ vector allocator fix

   - An Intel RDT driver use-after-free fix

   - An APIC driver bug fix/revert to make certain older systems boot
     again

   - A pkeys ABI fix

   - TSC calibration fixes

   - A kdump fix"

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.
