Linus Torvalds 69828c475d - Allow CPUs affected by erratum 1418040 to come online late (previously
we only fixed the other case - CPUs not affected by the erratum coming
   up late).
 
 - Fix branch offset in BPF JIT.
 
 - Defer the stolen time initialisation to the CPU online time from the
   CPU starting time to avoid a (sleep-able) memory allocation in an
   atomic context.

README

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.
