Linus Torvalds ab182e67ec arm64 updates for 4.12:
- kdump support, including two necessary memblock additions:
   memblock_clear_nomap() and memblock_cap_memory_range()
 
 - ARMv8.3 HWCAP bits for JavaScript conversion instructions, complex
   numbers and weaker release consistency
 
 - arm64 ACPI platform MSI support
 
 - arm perf updates: ACPI PMU support, L3 cache PMU in some Qualcomm
   SoCs, Cortex-A53 L2 cache events and DTLB refills, MAINTAINERS update
   for DT perf bindings
 
 - architected timer errata framework (the arch/arm64 changes only)
 
 - support for DMA_ATTR_FORCE_CONTIGUOUS in the arm64 iommu DMA API
 
 - arm64 KVM refactoring to use common system register definitions
 
 - remove support for ASID-tagged VIVT I-cache (no ARMv8 implementation
   using it and deprecated in the architecture) together with some
   I-cache handling clean-up
 
 - PE/COFF EFI header clean-up/hardening
 
 - define BUG() instruction without CONFIG_BUG

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.
