Linus Torvalds 7b56fbd83e Three fixes all related to #DB:
- Handle the BTF bit correctly so it doesn't get lost due to a kernel #DB
 
  - Only clear and set the virtual DR6 value used by ptrace on user space
    triggered #DB. A kernel #DB must leave it alone to ensure data
    consistency for ptrace.
 
  - Make the bitmasking of the virtual DR6 storage correct so it does not
    lose DR_STEP.

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.
