Minimal supplement to upstream Kernel Self Protection Project changes. Features already provided by SELinux + Yama and archs other than multiarch arm64 / x86_64 aren't in scope. Only tags have stable history. Shared IRC channel with KSPP: irc.libera.chat #linux-hardening

Linus Torvalds eac3411944 Merge branch 'x86/pti' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 PTI updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The Speck brigade sadly provides yet another large set of patches
  destroying the perfomance which we carefully built and preserved

   - PTI support for 32bit PAE. The missing counter part to the 64bit
     PTI code implemented by Joerg.

   - A set of fixes for the Global Bit mechanics for non PCID CPUs which
     were setting the Global Bit too widely and therefore possibly
     exposing interesting memory needlessly.

   - Protection against userspace-userspace SpectreRSB

   - Support for the upcoming Enhanced IBRS mode, which is preferred
     over IBRS. Unfortunately we dont know the performance impact of
     this, but it's expected to be less horrible than the IBRS
     hammering.

   - Cleanups and simplifications"

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.
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.
