Linus Torvalds 0a7c10df49 - A couple of SEV-ES fixes and robustifications: verify usermode stack
pointer in NMI is not coming from the syscall gap, correctly track IRQ
 states in the #VC handler and access user insn bytes atomically in same
 handler as latter cannot sleep.
 
 - Balance 32-bit fast syscall exit path to do the proper work on exit
 and thus not confuse audit and ptrace frameworks.
 
 - Two fixes for the ORC unwinder going "off the rails" into KASAN
 redzones and when ORC data is missing.

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.
