Pull x86 core updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Prevent kprobes on compiler generated CFI checking code. The compiler generates an instruction sequence for indirect call checks. If this sequence is modified with a kprobe, then the check fails. So the instructions must be protected against probing. - A few minor cleanups for the SMP code * tag 'x86-core-2023-08-30-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/kprobes: Prohibit probing on compiler generated CFI checking code x86/smpboot: Change smp_store_boot_cpu_info() to static x86/smp: Remove a non-existent function declaration x86/smpboot: Remove a stray comment about CPU hotplug
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.
