Linus Torvalds 7cffdbe360 Updates for the x86 boot process:
- Initialize FPU late.
 
    Right now FPU is initialized very early during boot. There is no real
    requirement to do so. The only requirement is to have it done before
    alternatives are patched.
 
    That's done in check_bugs() which does way more than what the function
    name suggests.
 
    So first rename check_bugs() to arch_cpu_finalize_init() which makes it
    clear what this is about.
 
    Move the invocation of arch_cpu_finalize_init() earlier in
    start_kernel() as it has to be done before fork_init() which needs to
    know the FPU register buffer size.
 
    With those prerequisites the FPU initialization can be moved into
    arch_cpu_finalize_init(), which removes it from the early and fragile
    part of the x86 bringup.

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.
