Linus Torvalds f1e455352b kgdb patches for 5.8-rc1
By far the biggest change in this cycle are the changes that allow much
 earlier debug of systems that are hooked up via UART by taking advantage
 of the earlycon framework to implement the kgdb I/O hooks before handing
 over to the regular polling I/O drivers once they are available. When
 discussing Doug's work we also found and fixed an broken
 raw_smp_processor_id() sequence in in_dbg_master().
 
 Also included are a collection of much smaller fixes and tweaks: a
 couple of tweaks to ged rid of doc gen or coccicheck warnings, future
 proof some internal calculations that made implicit power-of-2
 assumptions and eliminate some rather weird handling of magic
 environment variables in kdb.

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.
