Linus Torvalds 29c395c77a Rework of the X86 irq stack handling:
The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course of
   the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in various
   ways.
 
   - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is not
     longer at an easy to find place.
 
   - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.
 
   - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
     interrupt stack for softirq handling.
 
   - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got confused
     about the stack pointer manipulation.

Pull x86 irq entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The irq stack switching was moved out of the ASM entry code in course
  of the entry code consolidation. It ended up being suboptimal in
  various ways.

  This reworks the X86 irq stack handling:

   - Make the stack switching inline so the stackpointer manipulation is
     not longer at an easy to find place.

   - Get rid of the unnecessary indirect call.

   - Avoid the double stack switching in interrupt return and reuse the
     interrupt stack for softirq handling.

   - A objtool fix for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y builds where it got
     confused about the stack pointer manipulation"

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.
