Linus Torvalds 3b78ce4a34 Merge branch 'speck-v20' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Merge speculative store buffer bypass fixes from Thomas Gleixner:

 - rework of the SPEC_CTRL MSR management to accomodate the new fancy
   SSBD (Speculative Store Bypass Disable) bit handling.

 - the CPU bug and sysfs infrastructure for the exciting new Speculative
   Store Bypass 'feature'.

 - support for disabling SSB via LS_CFG MSR on AMD CPUs including
   Hyperthread synchronization on ZEN.

 - PRCTL support for dynamic runtime control of SSB

 - SECCOMP integration to automatically disable SSB for sandboxed
   processes with a filter flag for opt-out.

 - KVM integration to allow guests fiddling with SSBD including the new
   software MSR VIRT_SPEC_CTRL to handle the LS_CFG based oddities on
   AMD.

 - BPF protection against SSB

.. this is just the core and x86 side, other architecture support will
come separately.

README

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.
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.
