Pull x86 fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Three fixes all related to #DB:
- Handle the BTF bit correctly so it doesn't get lost due to a kernel
#DB
- Only clear and set the virtual DR6 value used by ptrace on user
space triggered #DB. A kernel #DB must leave it alone to ensure
data consistency for ptrace.
- Make the bitmasking of the virtual DR6 storage correct so it does
not lose DR_STEP"

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.
