Linus Torvalds 5aa90a8458 Merge branch 'x86-pti-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 page table isolation updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "This is the final set of enabling page table isolation on x86:

   - Infrastructure patches for handling the extra page tables.

   - Patches which map the various bits and pieces which are required to
     get in and out of user space into the user space visible page
     tables.

   - The required changes to have CR3 switching in the entry/exit code.

   - Optimizations for the CR3 switching along with documentation how
     the ASID/PCID mechanism works.

   - Updates to dump pagetables to cover the user space page tables for
     W+X scans and extra debugfs files to analyze both the kernel and
     the user space visible page tables

  The whole functionality is compile time controlled via a config switch
  and can be turned on/off on the command line as well"

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.
