Linus Torvalds f10f0481a5 A fix for a bug with restartable sequences and KVM. KVM's handling 
of TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, e.g. for task migration, clears the flag without
 informing rseq and leads to stale data in userspace's rseq struct.
 
 I'm sending this as a separate pull request since it's not code
 that I usually touch.  In particular, patch 2 ("entry: rseq: Call
 rseq_handle_notify_resume() in tracehook_notify_resume()") is just a
 cleanup to try and make future bugs less likely.  If you prefer this to
 be sent via Thomas and only in 5.16, please speak up.

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.
