Linus Torvalds 63849c8f41 linux-kselftest-5.6-rc5
This Kselftest update for Linux 5.6-rc5 consists of a cleanup patch
 to undo changes to global .gitignore that added selftests/lkdtm
 objects and add them to a local selftests/lkdtm/.gitignore.
 
 Summary of Linus's comments on local vs. global gitignore scope:
 
 - Keep local gitignore patterns in local files.
 - Put only global gitignore patterns in the top-level gitignore file.
 
 Local scope keeps things much better separated. It also incidentally
 means that if a directory gets renamed, the gitignore file continues
 to work unless in the case of renaming the actual files themselves that
 are named in the gitignore.

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.
