 - Do not do ROM range scans and memory validation when the kernel is
   running as a SEV-SNP guest as those can get problematic and, before
   that, are not really needed in such a guest
 
 - Exclude the build-time generated vdso-image-x32.o object from objtool

   a warning which fires when an unpatched return thunk is being used

   about the state of each CPU wrt the NMI handler
 
 - Enable gcc named address spaces support only on !KCSAN configs due to

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 reStructuredText 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.
