Linus Torvalds 32e2d7c8af Merge branch 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar:
 "The main changes in this cycle were:

   - Changes to the EFI init code to establish whether secure boot
     authentication was performed at boot time. (Josh Boyer, David
     Howells)

   - Wire up the UEFI memory attributes table for x86. This eliminates
     any runtime memory regions that are both writable and executable,
     on recent firmware versions. (Sai Praneeth)

   - Move the BGRT init code to an earlier stage so that we can still
     use efi_mem_reserve(). (Dave Young)

   - Preserve debug symbols in the ARM/arm64 UEFI stub (Ard Biesheuvel)

   - Code deduplication work and various other cleanups (Lukas Wunner)

   - ... plus various other fixes and cleanups"

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.
