Linus Torvalds 828f4257d1 This series has the ultimate goal of providing a sane stack rlimit when
running set*id processes. To do this, the bprm_secureexec LSM hook is
 collapsed into the bprm_set_creds hook so the secureexec-ness of an exec
 can be determined early enough to make decisions about rlimits and the
 resulting memory layouts. Other logic acting on the secureexec-ness of an
 exec is similarly consolidated. Capabilities needed some special handling,
 but the refactoring removed other special handling, so that was a wash.

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.
