Pull x86 fixes from Borislav Petkov: - Prepare for and clear .brk early in order to address XenPV guests failures where the hypervisor verifies page tables and uninitialized data in that range leads to bogus failures in those checks - Add any potential setup_data entries supplied at boot to the identity pagetable mappings to prevent kexec kernel boot failures. Usually, this is not a problem for the normal kernel as those mappings are part of the initially mapped 2M pages but if kexec gets to allocate the second kernel somewhere else, those setup_data entries need to be mapped there too. - Fix objtool not to discard text references from the __tracepoints section so that ENDBR validation still works - Correct the setup_data types limit as it is user-visible, before 5.19 releases * tag 'x86_urgent_for_v5.19_rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/boot: Fix the setup data types max limit x86/ibt, objtool: Don't discard text references from tracepoint section x86/compressed/64: Add identity mappings for setup_data entries x86: Fix .brk attribute in linker script x86: Clear .brk area at early boot x86/xen: Use clear_bss() for Xen PV guests
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.
