Linus Torvalds 990f227371 - Allow s390 debug feature to handle finally more than 256 CPU numbers, instead
of truncating the most significant bits.
 
 - Improve THP splitting required by qemu processes by making use of
   walk_page_vma() instead of calling follow_page() for every single page
   within each vma.
 
 - Add missing ZCRYPT dependency to VFIO_AP to fix potential compile problems.
 
 - Remove not required select CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE again.
 
 - Set node distance to LOCAL_DISTANCE instead of 0, since e.g. libnuma
   translates a node distance of 0 to "no NUMA support available".
 
 - Couple of other minor fixes and improvements.

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.
