  - Deduplicate register offset defines in include files
 
  - Simplify the ia32,x32 compat handling of the related syscall tables to
    get rid of #ifdeffery.
 
  - Clear all EFLAGS which are not required for syscall handling
 
  - Consolidate the syscall tables and switch the generation over to the
    generic shell script and remove the CFLAGS tweaks which are not longer
    required.

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.
