Pull x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar: "The biggest part is a series of reverts for the macro based GCC inlining workarounds. It caused regressions in distro build and other kernel tooling environments, and the GCC project was very receptive to fixing the underlying inliner weaknesses - so as time ran out we decided to do a reasonably straightforward revert of the patches. The plan is to rely on the 'asm inline' GCC 9 feature, which might be backported to GCC 8 and could thus become reasonably widely available on modern distros. Other than those reverts, there's misc fixes from all around the place. I wish our final x86 pull request for v4.20 was smaller..." * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: Revert "kbuild/Makefile: Prepare for using macros in inline assembly code to work around asm() related GCC inlining bugs" Revert "x86/objtool: Use asm macros to work around GCC inlining bugs" Revert "x86/refcount: Work around GCC inlining bug" Revert "x86/alternatives: Macrofy lock prefixes to work around GCC inlining bugs" Revert "x86/bug: Macrofy the BUG table section handling, to work around GCC inlining bugs" Revert "x86/paravirt: Work around GCC inlining bugs when compiling paravirt ops" Revert "x86/extable: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs" Revert "x86/cpufeature: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs" Revert "x86/jump-labels: Macrofy inline assembly code to work around GCC inlining bugs" x86/mtrr: Don't copy uninitialized gentry fields back to userspace x86/fsgsbase/64: Fix the base write helper functions x86/mm/cpa: Fix cpa_flush_array() TLB invalidation x86/vdso: Pass --eh-frame-hdr to the linker x86/mm: Fix decoy address handling vs 32-bit builds x86/intel_rdt: Ensure a CPU remains online for the region's pseudo-locking sequence x86/dump_pagetables: Fix LDT remap address marker x86/mm: Fix guard hole handling
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.
