Linus Torvalds 6e9128ff9d Add the mitigation logic for Transient Scheduler Attacks (TSA)
TSA are new aspeculative side channel attacks related to the execution
 timing of instructions under specific microarchitectural conditions. In
 some cases, an attacker may be able to use this timing information to
 infer data from other contexts, resulting in information leakage.
 
 Add the usual controls of the mitigation and integrate it into the
 existing speculation bugs infrastructure in the kernel.

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 reStructuredText 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.
