Linus Torvalds 634cd4b6af Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Cleanup of the GOP [graphics output] handling code in the EFI stub

   - Complete refactoring of the mixed mode handling in the x86 EFI stub

   - Overhaul of the x86 EFI boot/runtime code

   - Increase robustness for mixed mode code

   - Add the ability to disable DMA at the root port level in the EFI
     stub

   - Get rid of RWX mappings in the EFI memory map and page tables,
     where possible

   - Move the support code for the old EFI memory mapping style into its
     only user, the SGI UV1+ support code.

   - plus misc fixes, updates, smaller cleanups.

  ... and due to interactions with the RWX changes, another round of PAT
  cleanups make a guest appearance via the EFI tree - with no side
  effects intended"

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.
