Lots of new features and fixes:
* Added TOC (table of content) support, which is a debugging feature which is
either initiated by pressing the TOC button or via command in the BMC. If
pressed the Linux built-in KDB/KGDB will be called (Sven Schnelle)
* Fix CONFIG_PREEMPT (Sven)
* Fix unwinder on 64-bit kernels (Sven)
* Various kgdb fixes (Sven)
* Added KFENCE support (me)
* Switch to ARCH_STACKWALK implementation (me)
* Fix ptrace check on syscall return (me)
* Fix kernel crash with fixmaps on PA1.x machines (me)
* Move thread_info into task struct, aka CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK (me)
* Updated defconfigs
* Smaller cleanups, including Makefile cleanups (Masahiro Yamada),
use kthread_run() macro (Cai Huoqing), use swap() macro (Yihao Han).

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.
