Linus Torvalds 02fc87b117 Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull misc x86 fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 - topology enumeration fixes
 - KASAN fix
 - two entry fixes (not yet the big series related to KASLR)
 - remove obsolete code
 - instruction decoder fix
 - better /dev/mem sanity checks, hopefully working better this time
 - pkeys fixes
 - two ACPI fixes
 - 5-level paging related fixes
 - UMIP fixes that should make application visible faults more debuggable
 - boot fix for weird virtualization environment

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
