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.
