Linus Torvalds 74688a02fa arm64 fixes:
- Updated the page table accessors to use READ/WRITE_ONCE and prevent
   compiler transformation that could lead to an apparent loss of
   coherency
 
 - Enabled branch predictor hardening for the Falkor CPU
 
 - Fix interaction between kpti enabling and KASan causing the recursive
   page table walking to take a significant time
 
 - Fix some sparse warnings

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
