- Convert the 32bit syscalls to be pt_regs based which removes the
requirement to push all 6 potential arguments onto the stack and
consolidates the interface with the 64bit variant
- The first small portion of the exception and syscall related entry
code consolidation which aims to address the recently discovered
issues vs. RCU, int3, NMI and some other exceptions which can
interrupt any context. The bulk of the changes is still work in
progress and aimed for 5.8.
- A few lockdep namespace cleanups which have been applied into this
branch to keep the prerequisites for the ongoing work confined.

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.
