Linus Torvalds 98790bbac4 A set of EFI fixes:
- Don't return a garbage screen info when EFI framebuffer is not available
 
  - Make the early EFI console work proper with wider fonts instead of drawing
    garbage
 
  - Prevent a memory buffer leak in allocate_e820()
 
  - Print the firmware error record proper so it can be decoded by users
 
  - Fix a symbol clash in the host tool build which only happens with newer
    compilers.
 
  - Add a missing check for the event log version of TPM which caused boot
    fails on several Dell systems due to an attempt to decode SHA-1 format
    with the crypto agile algorithm

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.
