Pull RCU-vs-KCSAN fixes from Borislav Petkov:
 "A single commit that uses "arch_" atomic operations to avoid the
  instrumentation that comes with the non-"arch_" versions.

  In preparation for that commit, it also has another commit that makes
  these "arch_" atomic operations available to generic code.

  Without these commits, KCSAN uses can see pointless errors"

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.
