Linus Torvalds 40c93d7fff Two X86 fixes:
- Move the command line preparation and the early command line parsing
    earlier so that the command line parameters which affect
    early_reserve_memory(), e.g. efi=nosftreserve, are taken into
    account. This was broken when the invocation of early_reserve_memory()
    was moved recently.
 
  - Use an atomic type for the SGX page accounting, which is read and
    written lockless, to plug various race conditions related to it.

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.
