Pull RISC-V fixes from Palmer Dabbelt:
- A fix for an __{get,put}_kernel_nofault to avoid an uninitialized
value causing spurious failures
- compat_vdso.so.dbg is now installed to the standard install location
- A fix to avoid initializing PERF_SAMPLE_BRANCH_*-related events, as
they aren't supported and will just later fail
- A fix to make AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH correct now that we're providing
AT_MINSIGSTKSZ
- pgprot_nx() is now implemented, which fixes vmap W^X protection
- A fix for the vector save/restore code, which at least manifests as
corrupted vector state when a signal is taken
- A fix for a race condition in instruction patching
- A fix to avoid leaking the kernel-mode GP to userspace, which is a
kernel pointer leak that can be used to defeat KASLR in various ways
- A handful of smaller fixes to build warnings, an overzealous printk,
and some missing tracing annotations

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 reStructuredText 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.
