Linus Torvalds 0d37dde706 Merge branch 'x86-entry-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 vsyscall updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Further hardening of the legacy vsyscall by providing support for
  execute only mode and switching the default to it.

  This prevents a certain class of attacks which rely on the vsyscall
  page being accessible at a fixed address in the canonical kernel
  address space"

* 'x86-entry-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  selftests/x86: Add a test for process_vm_readv() on the vsyscall page
  x86/vsyscall: Add __ro_after_init to global variables
  x86/vsyscall: Change the default vsyscall mode to xonly
  selftests/x86/vsyscall: Verify that vsyscall=none blocks execution
  x86/vsyscall: Document odd SIGSEGV error code for vsyscalls
  x86/vsyscall: Show something useful on a read fault
  x86/vsyscall: Add a new vsyscall=xonly mode
  Documentation/admin: Remove the vsyscall=native documentation

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.
