Linus Torvalds 8a99117f6e kgdb patches for 5.5-rc1
The major change here is the work from Douglas Anderson that
 reworks the way kdb stack traces are handled on SMP systems.
 The effect is to allow all CPUs to issue their stack trace which
 reduced the need for architecture specific code to support stack
 tracing.
 
 Also included are general of clean ups from Doug and myself:
 
  * Remove some unused variables or arguments.
  * Tidy up the kdb escape handling code and fix a couple of odd
    corner cases.
  - Better ignore escape characters that do not form part of an
    escape sequence. This mostly benefits vi users since they are most
    likely to press escape as a nervous habit but it won't harm anyone
    else.

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.
