This is a personal fork of: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git including some various patches on top. I try to keep it tracking the most recent stable version availible there, although it may lag behind at times. This tree gets rebased each time I update to the newest stable version. It includes the following changes from upstream: * Re-enabled the ability to use the EFI RTC driver on x86, while some systems do have issues with it, there are many in the wild that it works just fine on. * Removed the Intel RAPL dependency on IOSF_MBI, as this is only really a dependency for SoC platforms. * Changed the mount syscall so it defaults to 'noatime' instead of 'relatime', almsot nothing uses atime anymore, the way it's implemented in almost all operating systems is inherently flawed for the original intended usage, and the people who do should probably be using strictatime anyway. * Changed the default symlink and hardlink protections back to being secure. We should be secure by default, not the other way around. * Changed the default VT color palette to be brighter and have a less ugly dark yellow. * Added a custom localversion file to differentiate from upstream. If/when any of the above ever get's merged into the mainline kernel, I will drop it from here. The upstream README file can now be found in Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst
