Linus Torvalds 0648260041 arm64 fixes:
- SPsel register initialisation on reset as the architecture defines its
   state as unknown
 
 - Use READ_ONCE when dereferencing pmd_t pointers to avoid race
   conditions in page_vma_mapped_walk() (or fast GUP) with concurrent
   modifications of the page table
 
 - Avoid invoking the mm fault handling code for kernel addresses (check
   against TASK_SIZE) which would otherwise result in calling
   might_sleep() in atomic context

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.
